Whether or not Hitler had any mental conditions, for the general population such a syndrome as Asperger's would have qualified a person as an "Unter-minch" and would thus be considered cause for execution in order to free up more resources for his "master-race".
hitler Syndrome topic
Whatever this evil spawn of humans was "suffering" from, he was spreading it far and wide and people were buying it for twelve years. Some people still continue to buy into it.
What is ludicrous and even hypocritical about nazism is that the criteria for inclusion into the master race was somehow overlooked for many. Some nazis even decided who was a Jew and who was disabled--I mean look at goebbels, himmler, hess, goering and even hitler himself--all had physical/psychological deficits that did not mesh well with the idea of the ubermenschen.
Much of nazi terror centred upon not knowing what the rules were, and not knowing when or how you would be exterminated.
The lesson is to not allow race/religion baiting to sway people toward blind hatred of others. This lesson is being lost and history is repeating against the Muslim population which is mostly innocent (and quite possibly totally innocent depending on what narrative you go with).
