"There Won’t Be Anything Special About Your Shooting"

Well yeah, but it would be special, if they came up with other target, something in line with ETA/IRA targets, in which case they could become even heroes for significant part of population.

"The “great men” of history — the emperors, the conquerors — aren’t remembered for the death and destruction they wrought."

Sure, nobody remembers Hitler, Stalin, Genghis Khan, Pol Pot, Mao etc. What is this guy smoking? Oh yeah, right, Hitler is the most remembered for great German highways he built. Nobody remembers those 50M dead Chinese from Mao's made famine.

Why the negativity?

I'm pretty sure the author used the word "remembered" in the sense of "recognized" or "admired". Could they have chosen a more precise word? Yes, but to me it is clear what they mean.

Hitler is recognized and admired by many. If the change in world order happens when his significance is still fresh, he will surface back as a universally admired figure because it is not very difficult to piece together what the Nazi regime actually did vs what the Soviet occupiers accused them of (and what the US went along with).

Please ELI5: what did the Nazi regime actually do? What is it about Hitler that warrants universal admiration?
