    Hitler actually wasn't such a good leader at all. He may have even lost the war due to his ignorance. He hardly ever listened to his generals and other staff, and was generally unrealistic.

    I'd say Napoleon was cooler.

    This.

    how bout, that's not always a bad thing when you are going for power, I bet over half the leaders of nations have killed thousands of people because when people want power, they resort to war and violence. I'm not sure of Hitler's reason for killing jews, I always hear he just didn't like people that didn't look a certain way, but there is probably something more to it than that. Stating he killed people isn't very different from most other leaders though, I don't like Hitler, just saying, you can't just hate him because he killed people, it's because he racistly killed people.

    O.o??? Not only was he a genius, but he helped Germany a lot before he began to take control with the Nazi party.

    Germany was in horrible shape due to the Great Depression. It was also in a bad condition because of the Treaty of Versailles. Germany had one of the worst economies out of all the major industrial powers.

    Hitler was able to get Germany out of this horrid economy and by the time he decided to take over the country, Germany had a very strong economy again.

    oh n fyi - i am not a fan of Hitler, but i do give credit when credit is due. he was a great leader before 1936.


    EDIT: recommended read- The Nazi Economy by Richard Overy

    Napoleon was much better, but Hitler having the ability to go from the bottom to the top during the depression is very good.

    Also, it might be my age group but everyone finds it funny to raise there hands like Hitler did when answering a question. Pisses people thinking that there cool.

    lmao I wanna do that now and I know I'm a bit older than you, probably just a kid in school thing , either that or I'm an immature Sr. lol, but I love it. But I should do it to my jewish teacher and see if it writes me up, haha na that'd be too mean, and he's cool, I wouldn't do it.


    x[Warrior]x3500, same with my last post, just giving credit when credit is due, and pointing obvious bias-ism and how you shouldn't say he kill people because that's not unique to him. Lots of people have.

    ...? he deserves credit for what he did to the Germany economy before 1936. I hate Hitler because of what he did after 1936. and where did u get the killing ppl. i didnt mention that because i was showing how Hitler started off as a good leader. i wasnt even going to into his later years because they were off topic from my point.
