There is no such place as heaven or hell but what we decide is such. So, if he thought he went to hell, he did. If he thought not, he didn't. He did stand out as someone responsible for what are considered heinous acts by most even in that time period. He was allowed to carry this heavily organized Nazi operation on though, with the cooperation (and non action) of many. Many others had no conscious awareness of his deeds until late in the war, but I digress. No--I do not believe Hitler suffered in the afterlife any more or less than any one being did or does. His acts hurt our world greatly but on the positive side, they pointed out what will most likely never be allowed again to that scale. Also, if the people created Hitler, remember they also created Churchill--an Anti-Hitler of sorts:) We, as humans have progressed even in fifty years.

It's true that Hitler didn't create anti-semitism, but he did use it as noone else did. Most people of the time were good Christians who were content to believe Jesus would kill off half the Jews when he returned and the city of God descended.
Really, though, most of the german civilians/other locals who lived near concentration camps were kept in the dark about what went on inside the camps and were horrified to find out after. Remember, even North America had its internment camps at the time -- those were acceptable by world standards. What Hitler did went slightly beyond that.
It's the gas chambers and human experimentation, not the forced labour, for which he'll burn, if not forever, then longer than others who take the escalator down after cashing in.

Who is to know? I suppose that if we can believe that people from the past who performed atrocities simply because they were common entered heaven, such as crusaders or inquisitors, then it is feasable that hitler could enter heaven. Feasable, but not likely. It just somehow seems wrong that such a man would be allowed into heaven. If we are to believe in an eternal punishment for bad behavior and an eternal reward for good behavior, then we need to believe that there are set rules for how to earn either that are independent from the morality of any time or society.

That hits right on the point I'm always trying to make about the magnitude of Allah"s (SWT) forgiveness! We just don't know...

A Catholic priest once told me of a church (somewhere) that has a stained glass window of Hitler in heaven, What a concept! Because that is way & above any human understanding

If there is a heaven, I think God is Loving enough to let even the most brutal person in, It's so easy to draw a line in the sand and say well i am good enough, but where do we draw the line(murder,Adultry,Lying,Faith in a certain system of religion) I think as James Mulholland and Phillip Gulley put it "If grace is true everyone will be saved" Grace is something that's not worked, you don't do special deeds to get grace.

That is all

Even though conditions were extremely poor in his time, that does not justify the extremes to which Hitler and his cohorts resorted. I don't know if there is a heaven or hell, but if there is any justice in the hereafter surely Hitler will pay.

No, hitler's early life made him what he was. But by the time he started killing off the jews, and anyone else who disagreed with hispolicies, he was insane. I really think there is a special place in heaven for souls that have been so injured in life that they can't make rational decisions.

Nope. I dont think Hitler went to heaven; there is no evidence that he repented of any of his actions.

And Hitler was personally responsible for his choices and actions (not the people of the era).

Cordially,

Hitler was only a puppet of a huge engineered war movement and he was a poor drug addict just like a lot of those poor delusional drug addict lost in the street, a frustrate artist a ****** head, crazy, murder etc, a puppet. Then if you believe in Heaven since you are asking about it, then you believe in purgatory also?
I think he might get there one day!
By the way, I don't think he was the Antichrist, he was working for the same machine that's destroying the planet since hundred of years, the same our president works for. A bunch of puppets, propriety of the biggest delusional human manipulation company....

I believe all souls return to God. Some take longer than others. I have heard though of the possibility of certain souls that are so damaged they must be reforged. Hitler may likely fall under this category & or may have to suffer lifetimes of really intense karma to cleanse himself enough to learn the necessary lessons before finding liberation.
