In this episode, the shapeshifting robot known as the Teselecta is introduced. Instead, the title comes from Mels' demand to be taken back in time to kill Hitler in the cornfield at the beginning. A few references to World War II and Nazism were present, but much of the episode focused on the first appearance of the Justice Department and the strange types of technology they utilised. However, although the title of this episode suggested the story might revolve around him, in truth he received close to five minutes of screen time and was quickly ejected from the plot. This was the first televised Doctor Who story to feature the personal appearance of the tyrant dictator Adolf Hitler. Let's Kill Hitler also dealt with other aspects of regeneration, such as being able to rapidly heal from otherwise fatal injuries while the regenerative cycle was still in process, and a capability to donate some amount of regeneration energy to another at will. Previously, such regenerations were shown with the change from an old form already completed or cut out before the physical change even began. The episode featured the first " Time Lord-style" regeneration of a female that showed the complete change in physical appearance from old to new incarnation on-screen. At the end of the episode and in following episodes, the Doctor is occasionally seen looking at the information he downloaded from the Teselecta on his death. Additionally, it explained why the Silence had been trying to kill the Doctor and it is stated that the Doctor's death at Lake Silencio is a fixed point in time. Like A Good Man Goes to War, it revealed much about River Song's origins, also dealing with Amy and Rory's childhood and how they became a couple. It was, in a sense, the second episode of a two-part story, preceded by A Good Man Goes to War. It was the first episode in the autumn half of the sixth series.
