It is not your place to say where Hitler is. You are not God and do not know. Additionally, he was consider Catholic at least at some point in his life.

If you are a ‘good’ Catholic, you must consider Hitler is in Purgatory and pray for him. You if are not Catholic, you can simply give up on the concept of Purgatory and let the whole issue rest.

It's Catholics who create this after-death mess and believe praying for the dead is justifiable and good.

Completely incorrect. Again, let me teach you what you clearly DO NOT WANT TO UNDERSTAND. Purgatory is for some of those going to heaven. If you do not have a reasonable expectation that someone was striving with God’s grace to live a holy life, then there is no reason at all to believe they are in purgatory since there is no reason at all to believe they are going to heaven. This is so easy to understand that I am surprised that I have had to explain this more than once in this thread.

“You if are not Catholic, you can simply give up on the concept of Purgatory and let the whole issue rest.”

Or you could just get the concept of purgatory right and stop trying to create straw man version of it that you repeatedly try to foist on Catholics who know better than to fall for it.

“It’s Catholics who create this after-death mess and believe praying for the dead is justifiable and good.”

God created purgatory. Take it up with Him.
