I do believe that these things shape us all. BUt you are basically saying he had no choice.
Not at all, he made those choice because of who he was, shaped by those things.

I don't know. Millions were shaped by the same heritage, culture, and temperament without becoming "Hitler".
But they did not become the leader of one of the most powerful nations on the earth, therefore their deeds are not as notorious.

This is a very valid consideration, truth is most of us given the same circumstances would not have fared any better.
CJ this is not a valid question. There have been thousands of rulers with similar power Hitler had, and few were as corrupt and wicked as he. Hitler makes rulers like Nero and Saddam Hussein look like minor leaguers.
Point is, plenty of people in history had the oppertunity and chance to be this wicked, few ever were. Their damnation is just.

Crak, he was making choices and forming opinions far more evil than most long before he became the leader. I don't think you can put the cart before the horse. Hitler was "Hitler" before he assumed power. You may even argue that that it what drove him to power.
