Ratzinger is educated, intelligent, most likely not
deluded and has some sense of humour. He's also
a hardline reactionary. And Bavarian. Hitler wasn't
any of those.

Hitler started his political growth in Bavaria.

That said, Ratzinger was drafted into the German Army during World War 2 and
defected, so I think that the connection is inappropriate.

Ratzinger's priesthood postdates the horrible job the Catholic Church did
handling the holocaust.

I have no reason to like Ratzinger, but I think the original implication
was inappropriate (Hitler I).
