Hitler wasn't old enough to be a GC.
I would argue that Hitler was a bit of an anomaly due to the fact that the majority of the Missionary leadership in Germany was swept away after WW1. They were too tied up into the Kaiser and later the communist uprisings that the German Losts put down.
The Lost started in 1883, Hitler was born 1889 - but even today, trends from the US usually take five years to arrive in Europe. And Hitler was born in a backwater if there was one. Maybe he was a late Missionary, so to speak?
He was an oddball anyway: While his comrades in the army drank and smoked and cursed and probably went to brothels, as you'd expect from Lost, he... didn't.
His narcissism and fanaticism definitely fit a "Prophet" better than a Nomad.
He was definitely nomad; he was not a prophet of anything and did not stand for anything. He was just a huge gangster. As I see it shown again and again on this forum, the Xers are the ones today with the extreme opinions and cynical attitudes.
And Europe is not so far behind the US.
