What I find curious, and somewhat amusing - is the strange character of those who hate the Jewish people, like Hitler, and yet deny the Holocaust. What then do they admire Hitler FOR?
Same mindset as those who hate America, love Osama bin Lauden, but deny that Al Queda was responsible for 9-11. What then do they admire 0sama bin Lauden FOR?

I think you are operating on a couple of bad assumptions here. One is that holocaust deniers "hate the Jewish people." Mabye they do, but there is no reason to assume so. People will say that person A is an antisemite because he denies the holocaust and then argue that those who deny the holocaust do so because of antisemitism. The first proves the second which proves the first again. This strikes me as something like petitio principii.
I have little doubt that a person could deny the holocaust in some way, either partially or completely, and yet have no formed opinion regarding the Jewish people. I also have no problem accepting that people can like Hitler without being antisemitic, just as people admire Mao or Stalin. People who are particularly drawn to ideas of nationalism or militaristic forms of totalitarianism could be supporters of Hitler or Nazism. In the end I believe this is just another case of circular reasoning.
That is true, and the respected British historian, Robert Conquest, has stated that the Holocaust numbers could easily be jumped up by another 1,000,000 Jewish murders in the western Soviet Union during WWII, but the vastly inferior bookkeeping of the Soviets makes counting much more difficult. The Soviets didn't keep good records of their own mass murdering in the Soviet Union, and certainly couldn't be expected to accurately report the German mass murdering while the Wehrmacht was in the U.S.S.R.
