I know that Eddie did it, but was there a TRS thread first? If so, I cant find any.

I don't think so.

Well, Hitler Ate Sugar may be known outside of TV Tropes as wither Reducto ad Hitlerum or The Hitler Card or a number of other things.

If it's known outside this wiki by a different name, we use the outside name. That's part of the "pre-existing term" set up.

And it got renamed back. Weird.

That Hitler Ate Sugar has Guilt by Association as a redirect suggests either that it isn't just about Nazis, or that the redirect is incorrect.

If the former, that alone makes the name misleading; I'd suggest splitting the trope into Guilt by Association and The Nazis Breated Air, with the former being a fallacy article (like we already have for Appeals To Nature) and the latter being a subtrope of Godwin's Law.
