God has a plan. That plan is to reward men for thier actions here on earth. If he stopped us every time we were about to make a mistake, thereby making us perfect, who would be the one worthy of reward? God and God alone. If we are perfect due to compulsion we can not take credit for that perfection. The credit for any action is exclusive to the person responsible for the action. The only way one person can be rewarded and another punished fairly is to allow them to live without forcing them into or away from any action.
The dilema that comes from this is that not everyone wants to "play fair" and treat others kindly. We get people like Hitler who uses his free will to do horrible things. Since god did not force him to do those things, Hitler can and will be punished. Since most of those he killed, died because of their faith, they can be considered martyrs, the rewards that go along with that are tremendous. Since it was not God who killed them, and since he didn't force them to stick with their faith the reward now is possible.
So in the end, by not stopping the slaughter, God is now able to fullfill His plan of rewarding millions, even though he now has to punish a relative low number of Nazis.
