You sure? Deuteronomy 20 quote:16But in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes, 17but you shall devote them to complete destruction, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as the LORD your God has commanded

You need context here. If I recall correctly God commanded the absolute complete and total destruction of these people because they were so wicked and so depraved that they were beyond any sort of redemption. In other words they were so given over to evil that the most merciful thing for them was death… this is not the moral equivalent of Hitler wanting to eradicate Jews from the face of the earth for being Jews.


As to the original op, two things. I think to willingly engage in the atrocities of WW2 to the extent Hitler was actively responsible requires opening one’s self up to incredible evil. Call it possession, whatever you want, but it’s well documented the role the occult played within the Nazi power structure. With this in mind, if Hitler had truly received salvation in his twenties, I believe it is highly unlikely Hitler would have been opened up to the pure evil and darkness he was exposed to. The reason being that if you believe in existence of Jesus as well as Satan, you’d understand that Satan knows full well who has received salvation. An attempt to use that person for truly evil purposes would be met with a fight.
