Line 7:
As befits a trope that's more about the legacy and legend of the War than its actuality, it's often done as backstory for the villain (''à la'', "How evil is he? Well, you remember Hitler...?"), rather than directly in a World War II setting.
 
Like [[HitlersHitler's Time Travel Exemption Act]], it could easily be done with other famous warmongers, but in practice almost never is, except as part of a [[Julius Beethoven Da Vinci]] where Hitler was also several other famously evil people (in which case, there's a good chance he was also [[Genghis Khan]] and [[Jack the Ripper]]). At least, this is the case in Western media; Japanese media have something similar going on with [[Oda Nobunaga]].
 
A form of [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]. Can obviously overlap with [[Stupid Jetpack Hitler]] and/or [[Ghostapo]].
