As for the Hitler reference, I do not recall Eve's reference to him. I might have forgotten it. I do recall Nick, viewing some old film footage, of Hitler's speeches and Nick, being a Grimm, saw him voge during one of his speeches. That voge was the type that only a Grimm could see, so, Yea, in the show, Hitler being Wesen was a secret.I often get events and timeframe mixed up, and have confused a comment on the forum for something that happened on the show, so I looked up the Hitler reference.
This was on Grimm Wikia:
As Eve explained to Nick, Hitler's secret vision was a world ruled by Wesen. She drew a comparison between Hitler and Black Claw, who share a similar goal. ("A Reptile Dysfunction")

Wesen, for the most part, in the show, were the aggressors. Trying to portray them as victims is stretching it a bit too far into the realm of nonsensical absurdity.I had issues with the Nick character in the beginning because I saw him as a cop who was also a Grimm, but most of those issues were resolved when I realized the show was presenting him as a Grimm who was a cop. Understanding the show’s emphasis made a difference in how I viewed the character.

That is why (I think) this forum is so full of interesting and different theories about the show.I like some things to remain unknown for that anxiously awaited reveal - such as the seven keys. But background that serves to develop and expand a show’s major theme, not so much.

Most who write for a living want to see how others react and appreciate their 6 years of work. They probably wish they could write like Shakespeare or Poe. I am also sure they say things like "damm, I suggested that and got shot down" or "why didn't we cover that issue with at least by one line of dialogue?". A fantasy show is an unreal story about unreal people, whose conflicts should make sense. Let's not beat up each other over "unbelievable" or "dumb" ideas.That’s interesting. I would have assumed pretty much the opposite - that show creators/writers don’t really care about the opinions posted in fan forums, and look to ratings and the network’s interest in renewing their show.
I agree fictional worlds don’t require preciseness, especially in sci-fi and fantasy shows where anything can make sense when there’s nothing to compare it too.
