Boy, is that a tough question to debate. Which was worse, Stalin or Hitler?

Indeed it is, and Spytrdr and I have given a hint of the "Historikerstreit". That was a major debate in Germany started by two publications in 1985 and 1986, by Martin Broszat and Ernst Nolte, who suggested to reevaluate the Third Reich and relativize its role in history. It was a fierce discussion with hundreds, thousands of books, speeches and talk shows; the controversy is still lingering on. Here are a couple of links:
