I really am going to try and find the original piece by Elaine in the library, but until then I have a hard time seeing the parallels.
For Ender to be Hitler, he'd have to:
- be part bugger
- be a political leader, not a military one
- be middle aged
- have the bugger's be citizens of his own nation here on earth
- murder a large number but leave the majority to scatter around the universe
- hate buggers and use lies about them to keep his people in line
- die alone after losing a series of military battles to someone other than the buggers
I just don't see it.
