View of Hitler in the years following an Axis victory?

I was a bit surprised to learn that Stalin is still seen as a very popular figure not only in Russia but in several Eastern European countries despite the millions who were killed on his orders.

Could we see the same thing happen with Hitler in the event of a Nazi victory? Say Germany ends up knocking Russia out of the war early on and a peace deal heavily favors Germany. Due to the new deal between Germany and Russia the U.S and Britain lose the will to fight and cut their own deal.

Germany is still led by Hitler in this timeline for around I dunno lets say mid 50s at least can the Nazi propaganda build his image up enough to overcome the holocaust? Does he go down in history as one of the greatest German's ever? Or just the devil himself?
 
To highly indoctrinated generations of Germans and significant percentages of non German populations in Axis Europe he'd be seen as something close to a god.

To the rest of the world once knowledge of the Holocaust and Generalplan Ost gets out, he (along with Himmler, Goebbels etc) would be viewed as the personification of Evil, second only to Satan.

CalBear described it perfectly in AANW:
The Reich is the product of a quarter century of intentional indoctrination of an entire people. Over half the people living in Europe have been fed the Party's view of reality for as long as they can remember, with many older Germans having believed at least parts of it since 1918, if not earlier (it is worth noting that the Nazis polled almost two MILLION votes in German election as early as 1924 IOTL).

Fanatic doesn't begin to convey what most products of the Hitler Youth and League of German Maiden movements have become. While some individuals, especially in parts of the Austrian Alps and other hold out devout Catholic/Lutheran regions mainly go through the motions and say all the right words in public, in general Nazism IS the religion of the Reich, and THE FUHRER is the point for devotion. This is not just a cult of personality, it is an actual cult as much as Jim Jones and Jonestown was, but on a national, if not continental, scale.

While it is not 100%, or even 80% of the total ATL age group population, the majority of these people are the product of what, even IOTL, remains the single most successful mass brainwashing campaign in human history. They are willing, even eager to die for the Fuhrer.

Think 1940-45 Japan and you have a decent frame of reference. Now remove the Emperor telling the Japanese people that they will have to "endure the unendurable".

Germans view Hitler as some kind of genius at worst and Messiah at best. Goebbels and Co. get lots of film, photos and 3rd party observation of the Soviet gulags 'liberated' by the German army demonstrating to neutral countries how evil Communism was to its own people. The defining photographic shot of the mid-20th century is probably a joint German-finnish force cracking open the Soviet prisons on the Kola peninsula and providing humanitarian aid to the half-starved survivors. The Germans probably leak some of their own concentration camp images to make the Soviets look worse...mixing in their own horrors with the 'reality' of the gulags. Its all great propaganda for the Reich if done right and who is going to question their 'truth' if they are the winning side?
In Germany itself, the people will be totally indoctrinated. All the opposition to Nazi racial and Eugenics policies will be mooted following Hitler's tremendous success. The disabled(though not war veterans) will be sent for extermination along with any remaining disagreeable minorities. This will be seen as a necessity to keep the Aryan race pure and to maintain social cohesion.
The Reich Church will have re-worked religion and the bible to match with Nazi beliefs. In relation to detailed information about the Holocaust, it is probably said that the Jews were moved east and the majority chose to perish in the chaos of the remains of the Soviet Union and Central Asia with their Bolshevik allies. The remaining Concentration camps are shut down by the early 1950s (having achieved their purpose) and the task of euthanasia of undesirables(homosexuals and those with genetic or psychological illness) is turned over to specialist 'hospitals' and Mental Asylums.
Stalin is seen as a monster and Communism is widely regarded as pure evil in Germany and probably a lot of the world to.
Opinions on Hitler will differ in the Wider World. Some will see him as a necessary evil. He was a strong man who unified Europe and saved the Western World from the Bolshevik menace. He also transformed Germany from a broken backwards state into an economic superpower. This view will probably be very popular in places like Latin America where proto-Hitler's will try to achieve similar success.
In the United states and Britain, Hitler will be viewed as a dangerous tyrant, ruling over Europe with an iron fist. They probably have a lot of detail about the horrors of the Nazi regime but a lot of the most horrific will be dismissed as anti-German propaganda if it is even released to the public ( In OTL, it took actually breaking into the extermination camps before they were believed by all). The removal of the disabled, gays and the mentally ill is probably something though that the Nazis will make no secret about and this may shock some in the Western World although given attitudes toward these groups in the 40s/50s, it is probable the lot of people may agree and encourage similar eugenics programs to get rid of societal 'deviants'.
