From what I can see in the quotations, he's not going to be particularly controversial about Hitler.
Suggesting that the rise of the Nazis was linked to the Treaty of Versailles, economic collapse and all the rest is GCSE history here.
You don't have to equivocate morally to suggest that he wasn't some cartoon super villain who simply seized control of Germany.
Similarly, the notion that Stalin took the Soviet Union from being the most backward of the major powers to being able to resist the **** invasion is a fairly broadly accepted one isn't it?
Maybe the cold war has meant that Americans simply haven't been told. Stretches credulity though.
