Etymology
Hitlerian comes from the name Hitler plus the ending -ian, which means 'related to' or 'like' and appears in words such as Victorian. So, when something is called Hitlerian, it is 'like' or connected to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi rule, especially in being very strict, cruel, or ruling like a dictator.
