While there are probably some similarities between their two lives, that is to be expected since most people have a few life experiences in common. You could draw several of the same parallels between Hitler and Lincoln. Lincoln resented his abusive father and lost his biological mother when he was young, Lincoln made America a better place, ect. Some of these things are either vague or come with the job. Most notable national leaders are good orators and/or have good military/diplomatic skills (that's how they got their jobs). While Japan does seem to get inspiration from Germany for some of their animes, I got the feeling they were trying to make Lelouche more like George Washington than Hitler. Those are my thoughts.
