Yes, it's a Hitler movie. Yes, it's a comedy--that suddenly turns very dark in the last ten minutes or so.
I like its portrayal of Hitler though. Usually media depicts him, at least in the war's closing years, as a raving madman. (That's why the sympathetic rendition in Der Untergang was so controversial.)
In Er ist wieder da, Hitler is shown to be savvy and adaptable, not to mention charismatic--which he was. Of course modern tech is mindblowing to him, but he immediately recognises its potential and jumps on it.
Imagine trying to explain to thw founder that in a couple hundred years that our elections would be tampered with remotely.

However, their minds would adapt to the new paradymn quite quickly, at least in basic concept, if not full technological understanding.
The intellect they possessed cannot be overstated.
I strongly suggest you watch Er ist wieder da.
