Well, that would leave several girls (as young as age 9) widowed....
but it does sound like it may have some very positive results in the larger picture, yes.
one wonders....if eliminating just a few of the very very very very very baddest, worst people in history....would have substantially improved the world and the lives of millions of people?

In all seriousness, I have to wonder if that would work. The problem is not just that they were bad, but that the social circumstances were around where they could rise to power. Remove the person, the circumstances are still there, and maybe someone else worse fills the gap. Imagine if, instead of Hitler, we got Hitler-Prime, who was just as evil but just sane enough to press-gang all those Jewish scientists instead of driving them out of Europe to America.
I don’t think that your question will ever be answered, but it’s fascinating to think about.
