In the first place a man like Hitler would not ask forgiveness for what he had done. Hitler thought he was right in what he did and thus would not see any reason to ask God's forgiveness. Second a man that is taking his own life is running away from responsibility, so again he would not be looking towards forgiveness, asking forgiveness is admitting responsibility. So Hitler would never have been looking at forgiveness. Your what if has no relevancy.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
