Actually a very tough question, but I ultimately settled on Option 2 though that typically shouldn't be an option for most people.

Yes, but the correct answer to this poll is the answer given by millions to Mountain Dew's latest incarnation.

For a monster of Hitler's magnitude, yes. If you commit genocide or try your hardest to commit it, you clearly aren't repentant, and your crime is worthy of the death penalty. Though I might be against it since it would make him a martyr to idiotic neo-Nazis (even moreso then he already is).

I would never use the death penalty if it were up to me. Being forced to live would probably be a harsher punishment than death in his case anyhow.

No.  Not unless you hanged every German soldier who oversaw and did not actively prevent the death of an innocent person.

Lock him up indefinitely.

What would be the point? Imagine if in some dramatic movie fashion Hitler's bunker was raided and he was captured just minutes before his suicide. What's the point of then executing him? It just results in the exact same thing, only a few months later.

He would have been a martyr no matter what, even if he had died in prison many decades after the war. Rudolf Hess's grave was destroyed in 2011 because it had become a pilgrimage site for Neo-Nazis: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-14232768

Maybe you could hand him over to Stalin. Have him be tortured by Beria and the NKVD and have paraded in a cage through the streets of Moscow.
