The first thought I had while reading this is that Hitler, as described here, would have hated Calvinball from Calvin & Hobbes.
The whole premise of Calvinball is that you make up the rules as you go along. You don't win by being stronger or faster but by constantly redefining the rules until you win by default. In Hitler's worldview though, there's no value to these rules. They're just artificial constructs that pervert the true nature of Hobbes, a tiger red of tooth and claw. Since Calvinball is inextricably tied to Calvin, Calvin must die, so that the Hobbes can revert back to the state of nature imagined by (Thomas) Hobbes, rather than the one imagined by Calvin.
