Hitler wanted to whipe out all the nations except for Germans (jews were just phase one of his plan), while Ozymandias prevented worlds nations from whiping each other out
If he didn't do what he did, there would have been many more deaths (the nuclear holocaust was literally hours from happening)
In fact, Hitler never even wanted piece
The en of Watchmen rather raises the question whether it is moral to kill a thousands of innocent people in order to save milions.
It reminds me of the following dilemma:
There is a train heading down the tracks at large speed (so fast it can't stop).
There is a bus full of people stuck on the track and there is no time for them to get out of it.
On the other rail is a single guy whose leg got stuck.
You are in the control centre and have the switch before you.
If you do nothing, the train will hit the bus killing everyone in it and possibly even some people in the train.
If you flip the switch the train will change direction and kill that one guy.
What will you do?
In both cases you are a murderer, but you can decide how many people you end up killing.
It's like an old joke:
"How many psychiatrists are needed to change a burnt light bulb?"
Answer:
"Just one, but the light bulb must WANT to be changed..."
Similar, but not quite the same.
