    I meant to say, all things equal, Hitler’s genes didn’t make him do the stuff he did, but rather the environment and opportunity.

    If his genes were, say, secretly implanted into a couple’s kid by a rogue IVF clinic employee and he got raised as a ‘normal’ kid, he’d probably not differentiate much. Even if his ‘identity’ got leaked after 20-30 years, I’d like to believe “Hitler’s 2nd coming” would not become a neo-nazi in over 50% of cases. This was the hypothetical playing in my mind. Yours is/was different. Being raised as the natural heir and successor of the great Aryan German Reich would likewise probably work on the holder of any gene sequence.
