was hitler a weak dictator?

Question

really need opinions, have a serious test comin up

Answer 1

No. Anyone who can convince the majority of a country to off several million people has to be a pretty strong dictator.... not to mention an absolute psychopath. I don't know if they teach you this in school, but near the end of the war, Hitler was constantly injected with a concentrated form of amphetamines to keep him awake and alert. Oh the wonders of chemistry.

Answer 2

Hitler, in my opinion, was both a strong and a weak dictator. Politically speaking, Hitler was a genius. Militarily speaking, he was like a three-year-old given the Wehrmacht and a map of Europe. A great example would be Operation Barbarossa. Hitler planned it, and as soon as he saw another goal, he abandoned Barbarossa in favor of Stalingrad. Then the entire 6th Army was destroyed, he lost a field marshal and 22 generals, and called THEM idiots. Then came operation citadel. the greatest tank battle in humanity was brought on as a sad attempt at driving 1 million Soviet troops from a fortress. hitler planned it. And Rommel in North Africa. Hitler could have won there, but neglected to give Rommel one division, not even one, when he had 20 doing nothing. Then he poured 150,000 German troops into Tunisia when it was too late. So you tell me if he was a strong or weak dictator.

Answer 3

No Hitler was not a weak dictator, He had an entire nation willing to go into battle and die for him, and he ruled with a cruel, iron fist. He had a very strong, highly motivated, well trained military force coupled with technology years ahead of us. Some of his generals, such as Rommel, are to this day considered the greatest military leaders of all time.......Germany should easily have won world war two, they didn't because Hitler was an egomaniac who wouldn't listen to the advice of his best leaders, and he got fatally obsessed with his hatred of the Jews. Had Rommel taken over from Hitler following the attempt on Hitler's life, we wouldn't have stood a chance in hell.

Answer 4

Weak? What a strange choice of word.
He devastated the life of so much more people than the ones would died horrific deaths in the concentration camps.
Because he has done a very little good to Germans, he had total power to manipulated a lot of them. When those close to him realised how malevolent he was they were killed.
Until now, it is known about 37 tentatives to kill him..
It could be that the atomic bomb would not have been discovered if he would not have try to find a way to destruct in the most massive way.
Even if the Japaneses joined him, it is terrible to think of the people who died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
As one answerer says, you better go to see on Internet, there is a lot on it.

Answer 6

Weak! hell No!
Hitler was one of the strongest...But because of his size, and also how people saw him, as a person....it may have a lean-to that...No, Hitler was a man who wanted things done his way...and for a time got just that.Go To Google, you will be able to find out a lot about him...He had a great deal of problems growing up..............which made him slightly nuts in my book....
The devil was his teacher!

Answer 7

No, he was highly influential. He started out okay, then went power hungry after he wrote Mein Kampf. Hope this helps and good luck in the test!

Answer 8

I don't think that the words "weak' and 'dictator' can possibly be used in the same sentence.

Answer 9

Have you studied Hitler at all?! He had complete control over nearly every facet of his people's lives! He almost took over the entire world! How can you even think to call him weak when you consider all the malevolent power he displayed in World War II? Please research this topic if you want to pass this upcoming test, right now I think you're poised to fail horribly.

Answer 10

-He was feared by all, and respected by most. He was in a way, "Hard to assassinate" even by the ones man enough to die trying. He was not one of the anti-Christs, but he was close. If he was weak, then he would not have become "Almost" the world power.
