Caesar claimed to have killed around 1 million Celts (most of them weren't even soldiers), which was a huge part of the Celtic population, so I don't see how Hitler was that much worse.

I'm sure he didn't invent a maschinery to kill them though. Going to war against a populace of one certain region or just denying one whole lineage of man their right to live is still a big moral difference in my opinion. Not even talking about the difference in numbers.

He would definitely have killed more, if there were more people.

Also, he did in fact try to kill as many people as possible. Example:

Caesar reports that he burnt every village and building that he could find in the territory of the Eburones, drove off all the cattle, and his men and beasts consumed all the corn that the weather of the autumnal season did not destroy. He left those who had hid themselves, if there were any, with the hope that they would all die of hunger in the winter. Caesar says that he wanted to annihilate the Eburones and their name, and indeed we hear no more of the Eburones.
