- He was frozen before the Holocaust was found out.
- As far as I've heard, no one has mentioned it to him.
- He'd sure be heartbroken if he found out (All of those people... 3 million of them... And he couldn't do anything.)
- Actually, the Holocaust was discovered in 1944 by the Soviets, and even then, he surely would've found out by catching up with history books to see what he missed.
In The Silver Age of Comic Books origin story by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, The Red Skull was ordered by Hitler to shoot a German officer for failure. Yet, the Skull simply shot off the officer's buttons with the stated purpose of terrifying him into absolute obedience, since a dead man is useless to the cause. With that example of his Pragmatic Evil way of thinking, The Skull was disgusted with the expense of the Final Solution as militarily useless, diverting resources and manpower when the Third Reich is on the defensive against the Allies.
However, make no mistake: the moment that it served a worthwhile purpose in this monster's twisted judgement or when final victory was won, the Skull dreamt of a genocidal slaughter of the Reich's "undesirables" that would make Heinrich Himmler agape at its horrific thoroughness. All the more reason for Captain America to kick his ass.
Or maybe grandmother, depending on how Marvel's particular take on Comic-Book Time works. Let's see, snarky Evil Redhead Dark Action Girl who dresses in red and black, with a connection to the Nazis and little enough regard for collateral damage... Are we talking about Rayne or Sin? They're enough alike that they could be sisters, in both appearance, personality, costume, choice of weapons and even haircut; in fact, the only obvious difference between them would be that Sin is not a vampire, and so can't be quite as over-the-top as Rayne. The settings also fit together, since Marvel has both vampires and Nazis in all flavors, and Rayne and the Red Skull won't necessarily hate each other. It's obvious from their behavior that the GG-Gruppe Rayne fought in her game was some kind of rogue splinter faction of the Nazis (which would also explain why they used the triskelion as their symbol instead of the swastika), kind of like HYDRA in the First Avenger movie. She doesn't hate them because they're Nazis, but because they're insane cultist nuts trying to conjure the literal Devil. For his part, the Skull, being a particularly devoted Nazi loyalist in the comics, wouldn't mind it if his girlfriend massacred a bunch of demented fake-Nazi posers who tried to destroy the world in some occult ritual — indeed, he'd probably be grateful to her for saving him the trouble of doing it himself.
- There still remains the issue of whether the Skull, who dislikes nonhumans, would date a vampire. But otherwise they would probably get along kind of well, at least if this is one of the crazier versions of the Skull. And, yes, the resemblance between Rayne and Sin is remarkable.
