He was pretty good i'd say. He tapped into the outrage of the common man to gain power, and once in power he re-energized the economy, built perhaps the most powerful military industrial complex in the world (at least before the second half of WW2), and gave his people confidence with the peaceful annexation of the Third Reich's germanic neighbors; Austria and Chekeslovakia, as well as the re-occupation of the Rhineland, which showed that he intended to stand up to the western powers. The opening stages of the war were also handled well, although that probably should be attributed more to Hitler's generals than Hitler himself.fidosim
If I remember correctly it was Hitler himself who came up with the idea of hitting France through the low lands not the generals, they did however plan it in depth. When operation barbarossa took place the generals got annoyed at him as it was his idea to attack them but they did plan it.
[QUOTE="Axrendale"]A quick historical comparison question for you: who here would say Ancient Roman emperors Nero and Caligula were great leaders?Vandalvideo
Don't compare Caligula with Adolf. Mr. Caligula just liked gettin his freak on. Now Nero you may have an argument for. Not to mention that there is some dispute that the commonly held ideas and "facts" about Caligula are not entirely accurate. Nero (and Sejanus) on the other hand...
Before Hitler: Streiseman paved road for economic recovery, Germany getting back on it's feet after a crippling war. After Hitler: Roads built. 6 million jews exterminated, several million more immigrants, homosexuals or people with disabilities also slaughtered 20 million russians dead entire generation of german men wiped out british cities bombed into ruin tens of millions of deaths and injuries the world over What a guy!
How do we know if there really were 6 million Jews that were killed? Also, Jews who were prior inmates in the death camps have stated that no gas chambers or showers have existed.
