You assume none of Hitlers victims were "saved" and all went to hell, which is not true. Nobody knows the numbers and nobody will know the numbers. How many turned to God while being persecuted, how many were already believers? Unknown. Jews are the one group that as Gods Chosen People have their own route to God outside of Jesus (they are subject to the Old Covenant between God and Abraham (the Jews), while Jesus represents the New Covenant between God and all people).

Hitler could be in Heaven if he repented and accepted Jesus, but did he? Theoretically it could have happened, but theory is one thing, real life is another. Could a person so steeped in anti-religous thought have a complete change of heart? Its possible but not likely. Look at your own position, think of the intellectual and emotional issues you would need to overcome to convert. How much larger a hurdle it would be to someone as far gone as Hitler.

Hitler grew up in the Catholic Church and was intrigued with the pageantry of the Church, and he certainly knew of the teachings, but those teachings were rejected. In Nazi Germany, some religion was tolerated and while not banned it was discouraged. It was acceptable for people to be Catholic, but allegiance had to be to the Nazi Party first (people literally swore allegiance to Hitler), to Germany second, family third. Too much religous faith was a hindrance to progression within the Hitler Youth, the Nazi Party, the SS, and other powerful organizations.

There is no indication from people around Hitler up to his final moment that there was any conversion. If he did convert, I think there would have been some indication to the people around him.

And if Hitler did convert, he would become a completely different person. Its a change of heart, not just words.
