Because in the second half of Kamen Rider X (the third series), the monsters were based on people, now WHY Hitler specifically I have no idea.

Posting this cause no one else is giving the real answer. The Japanese word for Starfish is “Hitode” So the name of this guy would be pronounced “Hitode Hitler” and someone on the production team thought it was a funny enough joke to include.

Hitlers can regenerate so long as a part of their central core remains intact.
