NORMAL MODE:
Hit "random article", navigate to Adolf Hitler in 6 moves or less.
Technically, the only way to really win this mode is to end up on Hitler as your random page. Though feel free to play it anyway, so that people have something more to challenge.

CHALLENGE MODE:
Pick someone else's starting point, and get to Hitler even faster than they did.
Feel free to mock and shame them.

HARD MODE:
Hit "random article" (or challenge someone else), and make it to Hitler in 6 degrees or less, WITHOUT using the "World War II" main page or the "Germany" main page.
For advanced players only.

Cheating: Don't use edit page. Or the search button. Or basically anything that isn't in the informative portion of the wiki page.


Begin at your leisure.

Nah, it's an easy strategy:

Go as broad as possible (assuming you ended up with an obscure random page)
Go as western-european (or in some cases Japan/Russia/America) as possible
Specify to something that was either in the same time frame as Hitler, something that interacted with Hitler, or something Hitler could be considered a part of.

Dominican Republic actually navigates directly to Nazi Germany just a few paragraphs below where it links to Jewish...

So, yeah, it can be done in one less move at least.

José Morban -> Dominican Republic -> Nazi Germany -> Adolf Hitler
