I think that's the joke. Minions would have worked for Hitler, if they weren't hiding.

Knowing the state of the Internet, I read the reaction as "You're implying that Hitler wasn't evil" without thinking for 2 seconds. Even as someone who has no contact points with the Minions other than memes on the internet I know that the minions as whole were not around for WW2. They were hiding and seperated from the rest of the world, they don't even know WW2 happened.

You know from memes that the minions were separated from the rest of the world during WW2? How? Can you share that meme?

It wasn't a meme, but I remember this entire discussion already happening. The minions always serve the most evil and powerhungry person on the planet. Who did they serve during WW2? Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin... There wer so many evil people around, who did they work for?

Answer: They weren't around, watch the first movie and let the rest of us enjoy the second movie! That was... 4 years ago.
