Martin Luther was excommunicated, but Hitler wasn't.
Go figure.

Hitler would have incurred a number of laete sententiae (automatic but non-declared) excommunications under the old code of canon law. There is a more medicinal point in making a declaration concerning a theologian than a psychotic dictator, and a more prudential point in being content with an encyclical written in German that really ticked off the old goat.
