Hitler was actually an Austrian, who joined the German army as a Corporal and then made himself the head of a political party called 'the third reich'. When this party came into power, he automatically became the chief of the German 3rd Reich, commanding over regular German Generals and Admirals. Hitler, the megalomania, imagined that he would create a "pure" Aryan race of blue blooded people. For that, he decided that the Jews (Who constituted more than half of Germany--apart from the Jews who lived in Austria, Poland, Sweden, France, etc) were an impurity which needed to be eliminated. He systematically created concentration camps and Gas chambers where over 2 million Jews were exterminated! Hitler's manical and dictatorial hold over the Germans was so absolute that nobody dare raise any objections in the German Armed forces! He convinced everyone that the 'impurity' MUST be be eliminated. So, now YOU tell me: "Is Hitler responsible ,or did the German people do it themselves?"!!!

One thing this world does not understand is that Hitler was not a bad man. He was a great politician, a very talented painter, orator, writer, and he served in the German army, during WW 1 and was injured very badly....I always respected Hitler. Now, I am studying German. When you come in contact with German, you realise how better off Germany is, because of Hitler... He brought a country to be the best in the world, right from scratch. I say that Hitler was one of the greatest persons ever to live.
Is not Bush terrible ?
He kills innocent people...
People always associate this with Hitler...

No the position of Germany after WW! was not so good, the rulers had mi leaded the country which gave a historic defeat for them the wound was cleverly used by Hitler as a best oratory he blew his words as wind to German fire. If you chase a rat continuously the one day it will boldly turn against you

Neither, he took advantage of a perfect storm of racism, fear and the financial hard times of the German people. Much like America today. People who seek and want to hold on to power will use fear to justify their evil acts. Everyone tosses around the word "nazi" like it was a hot potato and most of the time out of context, but there is a very visible similarity between nazi Gemany and the current shapings of America

No, it's pretty much Hitler's doing. Hitler was, for all his evilness, an excellent politician, who managed to take complete power of his country, brainwash almost every citizen, and throw the world into a world war in a short amount of time.

I believe it was all due to Hitler. The people at that time were desperate... what with the Great Economic Depression and the Treaty of Versailles. They would have believed anyone. Hitler was a powerful speaker and made a good use of mass mobilization. He knew his art of propaganda well enough. He braindrained the people.

you cannot convince millions of people to go to war unless they want to. the german people wanted to go to war and it went.
the german people were full of hate and justifiably so after the bad treatment they got after the 1st world war. hitler took advantage of that hate and turned it against everyone he did not like. something like 'they persecuted us, now let's persecute them'.
the question is: who's more to blame for that hate? hitler for taking advantage of it or the winners of world war 1 for creating it?
