Hitler portrayed himself as the "Messiah" come to the "chosen race" in order to bring in a "new kingdom". I don't suppose you would say that Galatians was referring to this as "another gospel" to let them be "anathema".

Well you are certainly free to interpret the Bible, clouds, and Bunnies in any way you chose.
I would say that Hitler, like so many bad actors foreshadow the ultimate bad actor Antichrist. All of them to some extent have those attributes. They are all beasts.

But we should not conflate the kingdoms of the world and their exercise power with things like heresies that creep into the church.
