Really hate that about history .... anyone of any benefit to society dies too soon ... anyone that is detrimental to everyone, gets to live a nice long life

You can also die after you have proven that you're detrimental on a massive scale. e.g. there was a string of assassination attempts on Hitler that intensified towards the end of WW2. No one would have forgotten about Hitler if he had been assassinated in 1943.

And that’s why I always say that biggest hero in WWII was the guy who killed Hitler.

He might even deserve a statue? It would be especially compelling if it showed him in the act of killing Hitler, as brutal as that might be.
