The technician in Einstein's lab says (about) "you did it Hitler is out"
when Albert returns. And Westwood's comments about RA mention Hitler is
eliminated.

Nobody says the machine is a chronosphere, it may be some variation upon
it.

Anyway, I don't believe Westwood has gone so far in the screenplay :
Hitler is out thanks to Einstein, and WWII happens with Stalin, period.
We should not try to find something they probably did not think about.
It's like many comics books : something happens in issue #35 with no
idea why, and another writer will try to explain in issue #98, in a
not-that-convincing way !
(Anybody remembers the clone saga in Spiderman ?)
