I can't imagine God knows something about Hitler that we don't.

I assume this means that if God had foreknowledge and thus allowed or commanded that the wicked be killed before they brought destruction the righteous, then why didn't he have Hitler killed, well the answer is obvious: he clearly wanted the History Channel to have something to talk about from 2002-2006.

In all seriousness, both in the Bible and outside of it, God still allows wicked people to live and do wicked things, even nearly wiping out God's people. God does give the most wicked the freedom to choose, and seems to only intervene when absolutely necessary to preserve the righteous. Often many do die. But God still gives the wicked their freedom of choice most of the time.

Besides, who is to say how many wicked tyrants God did remove before they actually became tyrants? We only have hindsight. He has the foresight.

I'll just say this: if God had killed Hitler, we would have missed on so many funny jokes... Chaplin, the Stooges, Mel Brooks.. Jeez, I'd say 40% of the internet revolves around nazi humour.
