Worth noting that Nietzsche’s “good” isn’t even paired with “evil”. He rejects the good-evil distinction as a product of slave morality, which is characterized by weakness, resentment and self-deception. Nietzsche want to revive the good-bad distinction, in which what is good is powerful and vitalizing and what is bad is weak and worthless. What he really wants, though, is great men (and it is men with Nietzsche) to create their own moralities.
Identifying Hitler with Nietzsche can definitely be deceptive and is unfair to Nietzsche (which doesn’t mean the latter was a great guy).
I’m not identifying Hitler with Nietzsche. I was talking about Hitler, and Hitler’s conception of good and bad (which I can only speculate on, but it’s safe to say his “good” correlates well with “evil”). I said he “takes more from Nietzsche”.
