He was still just a man. He didn't have super powers. He was a skilled orator and leader, with the right ideology, at the right time and place in history. But he wouldn't be able to break out of an AI box. He wouldn't be able to design a self replicating machine to destroy the world. A Hitler-in-a-box could be safely contained.
He could order such machine without leaving a box. He could grab power and start WW3 without leaving the box. The ability to leave the box an make own copies is not necessary condition for dangerous AI.
If Hitler appeared today, even without being stuck inside a box, he would not be able to start WW3 or grab power. Hitler is not that powerful. And being stuck in a box would be a significant constraint on his power.
He was powerful enough to grab power in Germany in 13 years, even being inside the box of his cranial. If he will be a little bit better now (but not a superintelligence), just ideal psychopath, he (or his equivalent) could be even more effective.
