Lots of non-westerners just don’t get the whole Hitler thing. It’s why every so often you’ll see a Hitler-themed bar or uniformed parade in Asia or somewhere. To them, he’s just a would-be conqueror that failed. They have plenty of those in their own culture. Killed a lot of people? Yup. Made things worse for everyone and then killed himself? Yeah. Heck, if you look at western culture until about 1980 or so, it wasn’t that big a deal to us, either. Old board games had swastikas on them as advertisements and the Nazis were just generic villains for kids to beat. Indiana Jones made a career out of them.
