while i do believe hitler was extremely influential, its a stretch to say that he was the most influential person ever - because he lived so recently, he hasn't had the chance to effect nearly as many people as those with a head-start of over a thousand years.
Also, didn't Stalin do everything that Hitler did, plus some? Everyone who mentioned Hitler, then, should realize that he pretty much crouches in the shadow of Stalin, and would logically change their vote to the russian dictator rather than the german.
Just to throw a few more names out-
Karl Marx, and his Communist Manifesto.
Constantine, the monarch who pretty much saved Christianity single-handedly.
How about Thomas Edison?
