The Holocaust, the Final Solution to the Jewish Question, was more Himmler's baby than Hitler's, while actualised by Heydrich. Hitler originally wanted the Jews forcibly removed from German controlled areas. As executive authority in that regime, was it more or less 'evil' to command such atrocities, or to allow them in the knowledge that he had the power to prevent them?
I don't know that it's "less" evil. Maybe equal.
I'm so glad you agree.
FTR, I don't think that anyone is in hell (or heaven), since I am of the opinion that such things are not possible in a Universe like ours. OTOH, were such post-mortem justice possible, Hitler and his upper echelon would certainly be deserving of it; alongside Ken Ham and similar mind-rapists, Anjezë Bojaxhiu, Helen Ukpabio, and of course Yahweh itself.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
