This doesn't really pass the smell test. I know very little about Hitler, but the small amount I do know is Hitler was found guilty of treason and put in jail for 5 years, during which he wrote Mein Kampf [1]. It seems pretty obvious to me if he had been put to death (the ultimate form of censorship) the holocaust wouldn't have happened.

You also dodge the central question - Do you believe Hitler had a protected right to free speech worth defending?

I may or may not read your response because I don't believe you're arguing in good faith though.
