Yes, Hitler should have won that. Here was a man who almost accomplished his goal of taking over Europe. Granted, his final goal was the world, but even he knew to start with what he could. He rolled the Third Reich Juggernaut all through the land, and took over just about everything. If he hadn't tried to fight Russia on their own turf, he might have actually succeeded. He started a World War, and to this day, he is revered (albeit by a bunch of bald rejects and ugly bikers) as a hero to some who continue to hold on to his beliefs. It's harder to start a war than end one, in my opinion. To end a war, you fire the fatal blow at a location, whatever that is. To start a war, though, you need to have enough people pissed off at you that they'll fight you on a grand scale. He was a great tactician, and even though a bit insane, should have been their choice for the award.
But Time knew the uproar that woulda caused, so they gave it to Einstein.
And even though Churchill had American citizenship status, everyone views him as an Englishman still. Great diplomat and statesman, though, and I would have put him in front of Einstein too.
King Jr., he's top 10 material, no doubt.
