This is just a silly "Anglicism", Catfish... the British population commonly referred anything done to them or their serving relatives in the war directly back to Hitler, in a manner suggesting he personally was at the controls of the plane or the levers of the tank
In a similar way, our armies were fighting "Tojo" and "Mussolini", rather than the Japanese and Italians.
