Yes. Which is why it wouldn't make much sense comparing their respective "productivity", or "capability", when so much of it depends on the specific circumstances.
It's more amusing to picture Genghis in place of Hitler. Or vice versa. Hitler in place of Genghis would never even have gotten past the encounter with Tatars, while Genghis in place of Hitler would've been marching German and Polish military towards Moscow after a failed invasion attempt by Stalin, possibly even with US and British help, followed by going all the way into China.
