Hitler wasn't a Christian. No, the Jewish people didn't deserve to die. Hitler commited suicide and didn't repent for his sins so no, I do not believe he went to heaven, but that's God's decision, not mine.

On what basis was Hitler a Christian? Was it because he was a member of a church? From all accounts of his life, I see absolutely no fruit of his salvation. I highly doubt this notion.
No one deserves to die in the manner Hitler put people to death.
"Did God forgive him" and "Could God forgive him" are two different questions. Forgiveness depends upon one's acceptance of Christ. Could God forgive him, I believe that he could be. However, did God forgive him? I do not think he was a believer and do not think that he was therefore forgiven. I really don't know about Hitler and have never heard about his "faith" before. I do know that another famous pastor in Germany at that time, Dietrich Bonhoeffer opposed Hitler and his regime. If I had to choose, I would say Bonhoeffer is the true believer and Hitler is the wolf in sheep's clothing, but I do not know Hitler's heart myself.

Hitler's religious beliefs
Main articles: Adolf Hitler's religious beliefs and Nazi Mysticism
Hitler was raised by Roman Catholic parents, but as a school boy he rejected Catholicism and was influenced by nationalism. Apparently, after Hitler left home, he never attended Mass or received the sacraments.[66]
In later life, Hitler's religious beliefs present a discrepant picture; publicly he often spoke positively of the Christian heritage of German culture and of belief in Christ. Hitler’s private statements, as reported by his intimates, are more mixed, showing Hitler as a religious man but also critical of Christianity.[67] However, in contrast to other Nazi leaders, Hitler did not adhere to esoteric ideas, occultism, or neo-paganism,[67] and ridiculed such beliefs in his book Mein Kampf.[68] Rather, Hitler advocated a "Positive Christianity",[69] a belief system purged from what he objected to in traditional Christianity, and which reinvented Jesus as a fighter against the Jews.
Hitler believed in Arthur de Gobineau's ideas of struggle for survival between the different races, among which the "Aryan race"—guided by "Providence"—was supposed to be the torchbearers of civilization and the Jews as enemies of all civilization. Whether his anti-semitism was influenced by older Christian ideas remains disputed.
Among Christian denominations, Hitler favored Protestantism, which was more open to such reinterpretations. At the same time, he adopted some elements of the Catholic Church's hierarchical organization, liturgy and phraseology in his politics.[70][71]

Hitler was not a born again christian so far as his actions portrayed. He seemed to have a form of religion but denied the real power of God. Had he been a christian, as you say, he would have noticed that murdering people is a sin. He also would not have set himself up as god and tried to take over the world. You may want to check your facts and try again.
As for your last question, if he accepted Jesus as Savior, even in the last seconds of his miserable life, then, yes, God would forgive him and he would be in heaven at this very moment.

No all the Jewish people did not deserve to die because Hitler took "Self-Hate", "Social Darwinism", & "Christianity" and twisted them - made up lies - and deceived many people into an Evil Coctail of War.
Only God can say if God forgives him. This is the same as I cannot say if YOU forgive or do not forgive Hilter.
The Church (RC) refuses to ever say anyone "Went to Hell" except for Jesus who went there to save devout people like Abraham, King David, and the others. Even with "Judas" the Church refuses to confirm or deny where he went to.

God forgives all those who have accepted Yeshua as their Lord and savior. I know this don't seem fair but that's gods rules.
You must also remember that all through out history some nut job at some point has always tried to kill scores of people because of thier own personal beliefs.
p.s.
Did you know that in the 20th century more people have been killed by athiest goverments then in the whole span of Christian History.

Hitler rejected Christianity dear heart
I do not understand why you would even say those things in the same sentince..
\NO ONE DESERVED TO DIE.. NO ONE..AND ESPAICALLY NOT UNDER THE RULLINGS OF HITLER.
here is what he said about Christians..Hitler's Secret Conversations 1941-1944 published by Farrar, Straus and Young, Inc.first edition, 1953
Night of 11th-12th July, 1941:
National Socialism and religion cannot exist together.... The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity.... Let it not be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things. (p 6 & 7)
10th October, 1941, midday:
Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure. (p 43)
14th October, 1941, midday:
The best thing is to let Christianity die a natural death.... When understanding of the universe has become widespread... Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity.... Christianity has reached the peak of absurdity.... And that's why someday its structure will collapse.... ...the only way to get rid of Christianity is to allow it to die little by little.... Christianity the liar.... We'll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the State. (p 49-52)
19th October, 1941, night:
The reason why the ancient world was so pure, light and serene was that it knew nothing of the two great scourges: the pox and Christianity.
21st October, 1941, midday:
Originally, Christianity was merely an incarnation of Bolshevism, the destroyer.... The decisive falsification of Jesus' doctrine was the work of St.Paul. He gave himself to this work... for the purposes of personal exploitation.... Didn't the world see, carried on right into the Middle Ages, the same old system of martyrs, tortures, *******? Of old, it was in the name of Christianity. Today, it's in the name of Bolshevism. Yesterday the instigator was Saul: the instigator today, Mardochai. Saul was changed into St.Paul, and Mardochai into Karl Marx. By exterminating this pest, we shall do humanity a service of which our soldiers can have no idea. (p 63-65)
13th December, 1941, midnight:
Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mockery.... .... When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be the only people who are immunised against the disease. (p 118 & 119)
14th December, 1941, midday:
Kerrl, with noblest of intentions, wanted to attempt a synthesis between National Socialism and Christianity. I don't believe the thing's possible, and I see the obstacle in Christianity itself.... Pure Christianity-- the Christianity of the catacombs-- is concerned with translating Christian doctrine into facts. It leads quite simply to the annihilation of mankind. It is merely whole-hearted Bolshevism, under a tinsel of metaphysics. (p 119 & 120)
9th April, 1942, dinner:
There is something very unhealthy about Christianity (p 339)
27th February, 1942, midday:
It would always be disagreeable for me to go down to posterity as a man who made concessions in this field. I realize that man, in his imperfection, can commit innumerable errors-- but to devote myself deliberately to errors, that is something I cannot do. I shall never come personally to terms with the Christian lie. Our epoch Uin the next 200 yearse will certainly see the end of the disease of Christianity.... My regret will have been that I couldn't... behold ." (p 278)
I am not able to tell you if God forgave him. I am not Jesus personal spokesperson. But I know many hundreds of thousands of people who dont forgive him. If he was not killed and his power went on Christians were going to be the next in line.

because someone says they are a Christian doesn't make them one
because someone is baptised into a denomination and grows up and says they are a follower of Christ doesn't make them one.
Hitler only had strong beliefs of greed and power... don't ever forget it. Christianity was not part of his being, no matter how much time he spent with clerics or how often he went to church or how often he participated in the eucherist.

Get your history right first before you spout your questions.He was not a Christian he was in fact a Jew.The same ones that he persecuted and killed.And he was totally insane.And as far as being forgiven.Only God knows that answer.We as humans aren't capable of answering that .Will you be forgiven? Will I? Only the Lord knows what is in our hearts and if we are good enough and have excepted Jesus.We are not the Judge of those things.
