Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany at the outbreak of the SECOND World War (1939-1945) and was therefore not affiliated with an single regiment. He was the de-facto head of the Wehrmacht (German Armed Forces). However, Hitler did serve with the Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment 16 (1st Company of the List Regiment) during the FIRST World War (1914-1918)
If you're asking about a US regiment, it did not exist in December 1914, and was not created until 1943, as one of the elements of the 69th Infantry Division, for WWII. When that division was inactivated September 7, 1945, the regiment also was inactivtaed, and has not been active since. There was a French Army 271st Infantry, which saw extensive action during WWI, for the first two years as part of the 60th Division. The Germans had a 271st Reserve Infantry Regiment, which was formed in December 1914, as part of the 82nd Reserve Infantry Division of the XXXXI Reserve Corp. ("Reserve" in German usage usualy meant units of men who had already completed their compulsory service at the age of 18-20, but who were still in reserve units for many years afterward. They were not expected to be able to march as fast as "active" units of younger men. The Germans surprised everyone by including reserve units in the front line when they invaded France in 1914. But the XXXXI Reserve Corps seems to have been formed of wartime volunteers, and was still in existence at the war's end). The Italians also had a 271st Infantry Regiment. No doubt other nations did as well.
