Hitler
Third Reich leader
Adolf Hitler was the German dictator whose Nazi regime launched World War II and orchestrated the Holocaust, the systematic murder of six million Jews and millions of others.
His name has become shorthand for evil: He's no Hitler, but he's bad enough.
Comparisons to Hitler are common in heated political rhetoric, often hyperbolically: Calling every politician you dislike Hitler cheapens the word.
