First, Abraham would have a much higher honor and dignity, for the way he lived. Hitler would have much more disgrace and dishonor for the way he lived.
Why?
Abraham proved he was willing to slaughter his own son, merely by being told to.
Hitler used his regime to 'cleanse' the world of the descendants of the so-called "Christ-killers", i.e. God's only-begotten son.
If you were this God and apportioning honour, dignity and disgrace, where would your judgements lie?
If the Old and New Testament accounts are true, I think they teach us God did what he did not make Abraham go through with. He sacrificed his own Son.
