Misexplained there....the prodigal sons are us-human kind-and Jesus is the offer of forgiveness that we don't expect. Some will talk about blood atonement dating back to original sin, but i think that its much clearer theologically, and personally to simply realize that Jesus makes an offer of forgiveness even unto his own death.
As for Hilter....I don't know. I don't know how one asks for forgiveness for such a thing, and i don't know how one accepts forgiveness after such a thing. I have no idea if Hitler was even sane enough to know right from wrong, or if he indeed was cold bloodedly rational to the very end. I don't play guessing games with who's on God's good side...and i think any calculus on what's forgiveable and what's not really amounts to a guessing game.
