Not except in the sense that they both use(d) religious rhetoric to propagandize.
(Hitler did do some of that at the beginning - less so as the Aryan race became the only thing worthy of worship. To be perfectly honest, Hitler isn't the first image I'd have picked for that part of the icon, but though I picked most of the pictures, the friend who animated it for me chose the final two images. I definitely wanted Bush in there, but Hitler wasn't the first name that came to mind as someone who used religious rhetoric and propaganda to sell hatred and prejudice. However, as he did do some of that, I don't feel it's inappropriate.)
