22A: Capital: Hitlerites liberated it? Ridiculous! (8) ?T?E?I?R

I can only think of STEELIER as a word to fit the options, but cannot see any relevance to the clue.

7D: Child care types - you shouldn't drop them (7) S?T?E?S

SITTERS appears to fit the definition, but I cannot see the "you shouldn't drop them" reference.

Thanks all. I had thought of the anag idea removing the "it" but had a brain fart and couldn't come up with any anags. There you go.
