I agree with CP. I have a really hard time truly hating Hitler. He was a lunatic, but did he really kill six million jews? No. I doubt that he personally killed a single jew. Thousands of soldiers killed millions of jews and others. Neighbors turned in neighbors, family members turned each other in and watched their loved ones be carted of to concentration camps. All of those people had a responsibility to stand up and say, "I don't farking think so, stop torturing and incinerating people," but very few did. Because of exactly the reasons CP gave above.
I hate stupidity.
ETA: Just to clarify, I think Hitler was a despicable person. Hate isn't really the right word for how I regard him, though.
