Hitchens who believed in relativism somehow felt he had to still describe this as basically absolute evil:

I was all about moral relativism when I was like 17

that's where it belongs - in the beliefs of an immature teenager

Objective morality is a no, as that would imply there is something objective to use to base morality on.
Subjective morality is thus what we're left with.

However, I don't subscribe to cultural relativism and other ideas that go the way of "well beating women is considered okay there, so we can't judge it as outsiders."

If your question is "Do you believe in objective morality, and that Nazis fall under the evil part of it" my answer is no, and then N/A.
If your question is "Should we subscribe to moral relativism" then my answer is still no.
Are Nazis "evil"? Subjectively, yes. Objectively, it doesn't seem to exist.
