God created him. I don’t believe God makes mistakes. He was the man God intended.

Wow, I thought he was born as a baby and was shaped by what he was taught, his experiences, and his decisions throughout life.
So you don't believe in free will? You believe we are all robots fulfilling our little role, whatever that may be, is that right?

So in your viewpoint, Hitler was the man that God intended him to be?

“So in your viewpoint, Hitler was the man that God intended him to be?”

Yes, I do. I can’t imagine God having someone appear before him and His saying, “When I made you I had such high hopes, but you fell far short of what I wanted, so I’m going to punish you forever.” That sounds too much like a failure of God to own up to his own shortcomings as the creator.

As far as Hitler goes, there was nothing particularly evil about him, compared to many of the ruffians and assorted racists hooligans that you meet every now and then. The harm came from the willingness of the German people to embrace his view of the world, and wholeheartedly carry out his most terrible policies. Without tens of millions of Germans behind him, Hitler would have been inconsequential. They were as guilty as him.
