No but not because he deserves privacy but because some freaks would try to clone him.

And what else are you going to do with that information anyway? Some anti-Hitler eugenics? That's the worst take on that history I've seen recently.

If he has any offspring or family, even those that disavowed what he was and did but couldn’t stop him, his DNA has privacy implications for them.

That’s why shit like 23andme is extra bad. All it takes is like one relative per couple branches and they could probably build a copy of anyone’s DNA.

Now there’s a database that psychotic world leaders can use for “purification research”. But surely nothing will go wrong guys, that’s just science fiction.
