Hitler was a genius who gave the people what they wanted, a scapegoat. He went slightly further than neccesary, but in the end he was ther greatest leader of his time. People should look up to him. Sadly enough I'm completely serious.

Er. No, Hitler was a mass murdering son of a bitch who committed suicide when he lost the war - like the coward he really was. Nothing a neo-Nazi can say will change my mind, but maybe Anne Frank's diary will be able to change yours, you ignorant bastard.
/Hitler was a genius who gave the people what they wanted, a scapegoat./
And that makes him a respectable person, how?
/He went slightly further than neccesary,.
You THINK?
/but in the end he was ther greatest leader of his time./
Tell that to my grandfather and his family, who were living in Nazi-occupied Greece. Tell that to my great-grandfather's Jewish boss, who had to flee to Turkey with his wife to avoid persecution.

Sadly enough, there are indeed brain-dead morons who look up to Hitler. It seems that you are one of them. All of humanity should hang its head in shame that there are still people out there who think that "genocide's the coolest thing ever!"
Genius, yes. He was a genius at deception and keeping the Germans in line with fear. We need to be careful not to fall for this type of genius and their twisted logic.
Thankfully, Bush is not a genius or else things could've turned out just as bad.
At one point 1936-38 Hitlers Nazi movement was all about the Catholic rule, the church was very much part of it all.
People do look up to Hitler and most of those people have strong (Fundie)religious beleifs. Some historians and generals respect his and his staffs military skills.
Hitler's goal of taking power was made much easier by the Treaty of Versailles, which not only declared Germany solely to blame for World War I, but insisted they pay all the war's bills. The Weimar Republic was a failure from the beginning, even though the Allies backed it (of course, they didn't back it with anything tangible, like money or food). Inflation ran rampant, most veterans were homeless and the majority of Germans were starving. It wasn't difficult to get the demoralized, disenfranchised populace to rally behind someone who promised them relief from their problems. Anti-Semitism is an old tradition in Europe, so Hitler didn't have to look very hard for a scapegoat. I don't think he'd have been nearly as successful in a country that didn't have so many crippling problems.
Hadn't the Jews been scapegoats for about a thousand years already, when Hitler got on the bandwagon? What he did was exterminate people on an industrial scale.
Greatest leader in that he managed to get people to follow him without questioning what they did, perhaps. Greatest leader in promoting human rights for all; not so much. Like Mr Olivander says in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone "He did great things, terrible but great".
If you're completely serious, then that is sad indeed.
Hitler was nowhere near a genius, charismatic, certainly, but his megalomania, errors of judgement, flights of fancy and plain and simple lunacy led to the deaths of sixty million people, the devastation of a continent and culminated in him hiding beneath the streets of a ravaged city, palsied and raving, before his final, and inevitable suicide.
