Hegel still has a really bad reputation regarding atrocities and his Philosophy of history.

"History as the slaughter-bench" - and yet the aims of reason are accomplished."

But there are also Hegel scholars (Walter Jaeschke for example) who simply consider these accusations to be uneducated and that he does not see the atrocities of history as reasonable, but on the contrary makes criticism possible in the first place.
