I would not believe that.  On what grounds would he have been nominated?  His reign of power lasted only 12 years and in that time Germany was involved in two separate wars (Spanish Civil War and WWII), not to mention the economic war he started with the U.S. and Britain in 1935.  Even if you do not take WWII into account - Hitler's ever-growing animus of extensive economic and social nationalism (up until 1939) was a threat to all of Europe's attempt to become a single economic entity, which was a consolidated effort by the entire mainland after the end of the first world war that became intensified during the Great Depression.

As for Hitler being nominated/winning awards, he received Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 1938 because of his "heroic" rhetoric and decision over the Münichen agreement.   Then again, that award has some serious flaws, as Stalin was awarded the title twice (1939 and 1942).

Of course he did.  If he did not change it, he would have lost all business and probably have his establishment shut down - especially once the international (UN, USA, ADL et cetera) took an interest in it.  The same thing happened with "hitler themed" bar in Singapore a while ago.
I believe there's also a Hitler-themed bar in South Korea. I don't know how much flak they've caught or if they're still open under that name.

I hate gimmicks.

We have a restaurant called Ilyich's right here in T-Dot.  Only a stone's throw away from Hitler's.  Lefties clutter in the gutter, take a look and see.
