Funny, "and then" says he has nothing of his life worth praising. Hm. Well, he built the Auto-Bahns, reduced unemployment during an economic crisis by 80%, built hospitals and schools.... Restored national pride by overthrowing the treaty of Versailles, got the Rhineland back... built a good economy using the Treaty of Versailles as a reason for corparations and buisnesses to stop producing low profit consumer goods and to produce weapons to sell to countries.
Hitler never signed a bit of paper saying "Kill all the Jews", it was his subordinates that took his views of Jews and since everybody always wanted to please Hitler, decided to enact the genocide of the Jews (as well as other types of people Hitler didn't like). The thing is, Hitler never said "Stop" to these things, but would be able to proclaim ignorance if anything happened.
Hitler would of been one of the greatest people in the world if he hadn't been mentally scared in his life by Jews in power, nor if German government hadn't humiliated the country with the signing of Versailles. He was a mentally damaged man, who was beaten everyday by his father, in fact, his father died of a heart attack whilst beating him. He was attached to his mother, who when she died, he broke down, ran out of money then blamed his misfortune on the Jews and German government. He then rose to power, using his hatred to fuel others. Humans become pack animals, thus they targetted Jews and various others. At first, Jews were not killed, they were locked into parts of cities, but German officers said they were taking up precious supplies of food and stuff.... So, what do you do to something when you don't want it? You remove it. So, they did.
I'm not defending Hitler, he was a crazy, damaged man, but before power corrupted him, he actually did good for a country that was on it's knees and had foreign soldiers in its lands.
