That strikes me as unlikely.

Attila the Hun is to this day considered a ruthless barbarian and killer. Practically no one could tell you who he was or what he did, but everyone knows he was a bad dude.

Hitler will be remembered for the ovens, long after everyone has forgotten Archbishop Ferdinand.

Apparently there are enough Hungarians around to punish me for this one!

Apologies to my Magyar friends! But what I said is certainly true in the English-speaking world.

We can only hope that Hitler doesn't become a culture hero on the same fashion.
