If he simply decided not to allow them choice in these matters, that would make him dishonest. And in hitlers case, he did not intervene for reasons I dont know but my best guess is that the killings of the old testament were important for his word to survive in the grand scheme of things. He will not kill every evil dictator because that again is interfering with free will.
In other words, the preservation of the freewill of a mass murder is more important than saving innocent lives, thus my topic; Freewill of Mass Murderers. What if Hitler had won WWII? Of course you cannot say the victory of the allied forces was due to divine intervention as this will defeat the whole purpose of the freewill concept.
It is tragic to think what would have happened if hitler had won. Definitely genocide of several races and though I can't say God intervened in a supernatural way, I can say it was the will of God for him to lose.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
