hitler was not mad ,he was an idealist,what do you think(no hate) please?

Answer 1

I cannot agree with you. I do not see Hitler as an idealist I see him as a very sick and disturbed man with very disturbed ideas which come forth from a ver low self esteem and his wish to become somebody. With his ideas of a perfect society he killed millions of people not only Jews but also Gypsies, mentally handicapped on which he allowed to do the most cruel experimenting on but also millions of people living in the lands he was at war with and not forgetting his own soldiers who had no choice but to fight in his war or being send off to prison camp.
I do not know what the purpose of your question is and I can believe that if you look at Hitler that there can be people who see him as an idealist because of his political views no matter how sick and deranged I know that there are different opinions about it. But to me he was a very sick and disturbed man and unfortunately he still has his influence in this world today because there are lots who worship him and believe in his ideas and the worst thing of all is that their number is growing. To those who are descendants of the people that were persecuted it's very painful to notice. Your question can easily be seen a provocation and you may be easily taken for a white supremacist which I can understand fully and of which I hope you are not because to me, someone who thinks himself more than others and who believes that what Hilter stood for is right, has a serious problem that needs to be looked at and who needs an eyeopener to see what was really the matter with Hitler and that the senseless killing and toturing of millions is not idealism but insanity.

Answer 2

I was not at Hitler's side nor in was any who answer this, so how can we truly say he was mad. In a world where governments feed the public false info. is it not even remotely possible that he might have been an idealist in a cruel world.

As an added point of interest I am Azainian (African) and therefore would not benefit from what would have supposedly come to past had the Third Reich won the War.

Answer 3

Initially, yeas, albeit a little misguided over one or two fundamental issues of human rights, but he came from a time where such concepts were at best nebulous. The class system was rife and highly iniquitous for many levels of society, not just the issue of whether being a Jew is a state of mind, a religion, a cultural group or a race. Or all. towards April 1945 medication and stress had taken their toll, along with the probable onset of Parkinsons disease. Couple that with a 'bunker' attitude (No pun intended) from all those around him, and a sycophantic couterie of 'yes' men protecting him fromthe realitiy of the situation, and I think he did become a little 'mad' or paranoid or unstable, or whatver you want to call it. I do believe he remained an idealist til the end, however skewed his critical faculties became.

Answer 4

I'm sorry, but I think that you are mad if you truly think that Hitler was an idealist....

These words are a better choice to describe Hitler:

psychopathic
psychotic
deranged
schizophrenic
demented
lunatic
paranoid

Answer 5

He was not a madman, nor an idealistic. He was just power hungry. He didn't hate jews, or gays, or gypsis. These collectives were just tools. When you want to exert an absolute and merciless power there are a series of variables you need to care about.

This people (ie: Bush, Stalin, etc...) become powerful by creating fear. Fear is irrational, fear takes the civilised human in you and leaves the animal. Let's say we can blame some guys for everything that's bad, let's call them jews, terrorists or whatever word is trendy at the moment. Once you choose your foes, the next step is demonstrating how bad, inhuman and bloodthirsty they are.

Choose someone who dresses different, and if he speaks different... So much the better!

So now we have an enemy... we've demonstrated not only that he is not as human as we are but also that he is to blame for all our problems. The road to genocide is open.

Only 1 percent of the population are what is termed as psycopaths, ie: someone who doesn't blink when killing his brother. The rest of us, in order to kill, either we do it through conditioning (intensive training of our reflexes) or because we believe we are defending ourselves and society from some lesser species.

Hitler was not mad, he was considered an extremely educated and amiable character, really sociable. He gave a humiliated nation someone to blame for its problems.

He was no different from any political leader. He is bad because he lost the war, but remember, winners write history. Truman threw the bomb on Japan, killing hundreds of thousands, even though the japanese had been trying to surrender for two months. Why? Because he wanted to show his future enemy (USSR) his teeth.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. All leaders (at least those who choose to be so) are by definition power-hungry. Hitler was no different from the rest, he just lost...

PS: No one knows if he suicided or fell victim to a plot. His last hours are a complete mistery

Answer 6

Hitler was a lunatic, end of. Keep things pure? That would make people stupid, weak and prone to deformities and illness. Killing people is idealistic? I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. And how did it help Germany anyway? It was overrun by Americans and Russians who raped and pillaged there way to the nut-job who shot himself and his wife on their honeymoon night like a coward. Little Chaplin-a-like wimp wouldn't even face the consequences. Germany was carved up, taken over and split in half and they now have to suffer the "two world wars and one world cup" song every time we English play them. He even re-wrote the bible to add the commandment which basically said "You have to worship me."
Hitler was a screw-up, a coward and a joke. His ideals were warped and disgusting and I revel in being descended from the brave men who drove him to his death. What a knob.

Answer 7

Can you not be an idealist and mad at the same time? i think he was an idealist, and he wanted to be rid of people that did not fit with his ideal.... but he was his ideals were mad and he was bad for the acts he performed to achieve this, therefore i would conclude he was a mad and bad idealist.

Answer 8

It is impossible to diagnose mental illness from a distance. However, it would seem likely that he had a disordered personality and there are many theories as to how this may have arisen, including his failure to be accepted as an art student (subsequently blamed on the Jews) and his genuine shock and dismay at Germany's defeat in World War I, blamed on Jews, Communists, liberals and civilian politicians but definitely not the German army. Was he an idealist? I think he was but that does not exclude him from also being mentally disturbed. He had his ideals but most people would regard them as unacceptable, to say the least. If he had not committed suicide and had stood trial for war crimes, etc. at Nuremberg I think there is little doubt that he would have been found to be legally sane and fit to stand trial. Incidentally, he was not Jewish but Catholic. His father was born out of wedlock and his paternal grandfather was unknown but one theory is that he was Jewish.

Answer 9

I've got in trouble for saying this to history teachers but i stand by it, he had the right idea he just went about it the wrong way. I'm not condoning what he did for a second, but if he hadn't started killing every sect he didn't entirely trust he would have made Germany the strongest nation in the world and what nation doesn't want that? He just wanted to be strong.
But at the end and probably in the middle of it all too, didn't he loose his way?

Answer 10

I don't think he was mad, and like most people in power it's the people directly below him that really ruled the country. He had great idea's and plans for Germany but not everyone agreed with him and his extreme ways. He's no different than hundreds of powerful people though out history who wanted to better their people. It's just a shame he thought wiping out an entire race was the answer, the other things he did improved the science knowledge at the time, the Americans took on quite a few of his scientists after the war.
