Many people may not realize that general salvation in Mormonism means that practically everyone born on this earth will certainly go to one of three kingdom of glory. This includes Adolf Hitler, the crazed Nazi leader who guided Germany into murdering millions of people.
On December 10, 1993, someone went into the London, England temple and was baptized on the behalf of Adolf Hitler. This provided him a chance to receive the Mormon gospel. That same day he was endowed. A few months later, Hitler was sealed to his parents on March 12, 1994. Hitler, like Mao, Pol Pot, and other despots, will have a chance at heavenly glory because, in reality, there is no hell for any of them since they cannot be “sons of perdition” and thus cast into outer darkness.
