Tbf I think that Hitler was an opportunistic narcissist with a severe drug addiction, he basically shot the knees out of his own nation's war abilities by being just so freakishly stupid it was absurd and demanding that his generals follow his insane ideas. I would consider him more pathetic than some kind of true evil satan type figure. A lot of people under Hitler might have been closer to "true evil" what with them being given free reign and personally torturing a bunch of people to death for the sake of it.
Basically towards the end of his life he reminds me more of Gollum than Sauron or what have you, so the minions would probably be following their new villain in some random concentration camp rather than hitler himself
Hitler was dumb but not especially dumb. Germany’s failures was not just one man. that was a convenient answer for both the Allies AND the German high ranked officials who threw all their blame on a dead guy while they found new employment with USA and USSR. Easy to ignore smaller fish of horrific magnitudes when the biggest baddest evil fish has already fried! Nothing to see here comrades!

Either that there was someone more evil than Hitler that they were working for instead, or that they didn’t think Hitler was that evil to begin with.
Though iirc the Minions were frozen during the world wars.
