Struggled to get to him from there

Is this not mainly because most pages are only a few links away from a country involved in WWII?

eg.

1. Item
2. Item Creator
3. Creators country of birth
4. WWII
5. Hitler

My first Wiki random was this page,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_cholangiopancreatography

Now navigate to Hitler in less than 4 pages then.
