I don't see what's wrong with it. It's hardly as though they're portraying him as someone who should be congratulated for his achievments. They're adding depth to the personality of Hitler, rather than portraying him in a plain cartoonish or simply diabolical way.
But they're not trying to paint a positive image of Hitler - considering what he had done, especially right towards the end of his career, there's not anything positive to portray.

I also don't see anything wrong with it, largely because Hitler's been dead for nearly 60 years, and I doubt the shocking revelation that he was, in fact, a human being and not Satan incarnate is going to affect anything in the slightest, if you take a moment to think about it...

Well, im glad someone did this, it is not "wrong" as flatrater put it, its probably a good thing. taboo, schmaboo, people need to know who hitler really was, not just for the evil.

As long as it is truthful, it cannot be wrong.

What is wrong is when rabid propaganda is allowed to overrun rational thinking.The man has been dead since my father was youger than his grandson.History is best served by telling the complete truth,rather than continuing to push only the negative aspects of a key player in the era.
