Slick and the hildabeast hand out the marching orders.

I have always had my doubts that Hitler was the brain behind the nazi party. History suggests that he was just a figure head of sorts. The true evil of the party was below the surface. So, it is my opinion that there doesn't need to be a "hitler" equivilent. Anyone will do when enough hatred has been accumulated.

I doubt it (no, not a flame here). If Hitler was just a figurehead, he would not have been able to screw up the German military in WW2. For example, the Luftwaffe was about to wage a very effective campaign of destroying RAF bases, but Hitler wanted revenge for the bombing of Berlin, so he changed the plans to bomb London. This led to the rallying of the then rag tag RAF which fought off the Luftwaffe, and still had their bases left intact.

Ditto for the invasion of the Soviet Union - the generals repeatedly warned him about the Russian winter and he refused to listen.

Hitler had Napoleon disease.
