:wtf I’m German too (75%) but don’t advocate what he did. I strongly believe, though, that if he didn’t have so much hatred against the Jews, handicaps, gays, etc. that he would have been one of the greatest, if not the greatest leader of all time. I think he was one of the greatest public speakers of all time, too. Did you know that for some of his speeches, he would walk up to the microphone with no expression on his face, and when the roars of applause finally stopped he would just stand there staring out at the crowd for a few minutes? That takes a LOT of balls and confidence in what you’ve got to say. He lifted an entire country out of one of the shittiest economic and social times the modern world has seen (in post WWI Germany, a loaf of bread was the equivalent of a few MILLION dollars, people would use paper money to fuel the fires in their home and had to bring wheelbarrows full of it to the grocery store just to get a few days worth of food).
Other than the fact that he was SEVERELY closed-minded and fucked up in the head, he was a fantastic leader.
Just my $.02.
