Offer 10,000,000 Deutchmarks and a couple bars of gold to get rid of him.
Problem solved.

Only if there are time travellers handy who know what's coming. In the early 1920s in Germany there were a lot of fanatics on both sides - Communists and what would later be known as Fascists - and the NSDAP were no more prominent than many others. Why would anyone offer DM10,000 for Hitler, let alone a thousand times as much? Besides, OP says they aren't up for murder-for-hire.
The other things to consider are colonial adventures: Darkest Africa, South America, East Asia don't have the most modern developments so they can be the site of the same adventures as in Victorian times - King Solomon's Mines, The Lost Valley, etc. If they annoy a significant faction at home, there's always the rest of the world.
One of my favourite past campaigns was when the PCs were hired to be bodyguards on a film shoot going to the South Seas - it turned out to be the filming of King Kong. (My version turned out differently: the ship carrying them and Kong home sank in a storm, the PCs' boat got separated so they adventured for months through the South Seas islands till they managed to get a ride home, while the film crew's boats, carrying the film from Skull Island, were picked up quickly. the film company then hired Ray Harryhausen to do his stop-motion for the end of the film. The party got back just in time for the premiere.)
