He gave us the autobahn(interstate). I know we all love driving on that speedy road. Not to mention great movie villains. Learned beter abortion techniques, Jet engines, VolksWagon. Not to mention WW2 got us out of the great depression. So he killed a bunch of people, are we going to be a glass half empty or half full civilazation.

I know you're in Germany - I've just reported you to the Verfassungsschutz. When the police come to arrest you, I suggest you don't resist.

People like you should be made to take a walk through some of the death camps and be made to look at the pictures of the atrocities that occurred under Hitlers rule. Even to make a joke of the cruelty that man inflicted on innocent people is just sick. I will agree with you that Hitler did have the ability to be a fanastic leader, but he abused his power instead of using it to make peoples lives better. You should think twice before posting such an unthinking question as people still remember losing loved ones to Hitlers insane reign.

Adolf Hitler's dictatorial rule of Germany, which led to the deaths of millions in World War II, has placed him among history's most hated villains. A decorated veteran of World War I, Adolf Hitler joined the German Workers' Party in 1919, later renaming it the National Socialist German Workers Party (which was shortened to the Nazi Party). By 1921 he was the leader of the group, and in 1923 led an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the ruling German Weimar Republic. Sentenced to prison for his role, Hitler wrote his manifesto, Mein Kampf, and emerged less than a year later as a populist spokesman for economically depressed and nationalistic Germans. Made chancellor in 1933, he suspended the constitution, forcibly suppressed all political opposition and brought the Nazis to power. He enforced policies with a brutal secret police (the Gestapo) and formed concentration camps for the organized murder of Jews, Gypsies and political opponents. Hitler's aggressive foreign policy precipitated World War II in 1939. Although he had remarkable early success in the war, by 1942 the tide had turned. Hitler apparently committed suicide in an air-raid shelter in Berlin in 1945, after the Allied forces had invaded Germany.

Uma, how did he unite the german people?

West Germany?
East Germany?

Duh!

OK, the Nazi's came up with some good medicines too, but that murdering 12 million people in concentration camps and being responsible for the deaths of 50 million people worldwide and the destruction of Europe and half of Russia kind of negates the whole thing. My wife grew up in the aftermath of WWII, is German, and HATES Hitler. Get a clue!!!

They were the pros's, but think of the con's. Try. 21st century style. Genetic Arian master plan. Your on the team of scientists. As part of the team you must undergo a test to see if your part of it - in every way, but they discover you have an ancestor who is a Jew and, not only do they kick you off the team, but they decide to exterminate you too. Then further into the future they discover we are all descended from Africa, and they decide to commit mass suicide. Nice roads, but leading to nowhere.

He did not do those things, the people in the country that he ruled did those things. however he personaly authoriesd his people to kill innocent jews not just from germany but neighbouring countries. How can a man be so cruel, killing innocent people just because they were a certain religion, women and children inclusive? and you say ' so he killed a bunch of people" what sort of person are u?

The idea of the Autobahn was thought up by Adenauer when he was mayor of Cologne, before Hitler.

Okay now in response to everyone yelling foul! It would have happened even if hitler hadn't done it. I grew up in a household that suffered severly from WW2. Not via great depression. But as in Auschwitz.

Without the Nazi's yeah I would have had more family left to talk to, more great uncles and great aunts, perhaps even my great grandmother on my grandfathers side. But you know something we as a family, don't hold a grudge. Theres no reason to. It was something that happened something that we have all had to move on from.

Abortion Tech. we could live without. Jet Engines.. how do you think we still fly? We don't have wings.. thats a bonus. Slugbug blue no tag backs, we wouldn't have that fun little game to play going down the road. Charlie Chaplin.

You know many people need to take a lesson from many of the people that were in concentration camps, work camps, etc., alot of them have let it go, it was something that was bound to happen. So this one man is going to be hated forever? This one group of people who yes killed this many people are going to be hated forever? I'm sorry its not worth our time anymore. I love my family and everything else, and I am prolly going to get flamed for saying this, its time to let it go. Yes its great to remember, but to dwell on it, to let something that bad rule our lives? No.

Would you talk like that if all your family was murdered by Hitler, if you was starving to death in the ghetto and still have to work as a slave ? if you were separated from your mother & father and see them taken to the gaz cabines ??? , my advice is that you should learn history, the only good think that Hitler did in his whole life was his last action : He has commited sucide ....

He's a person who done good things and bad things. He seems to be a gentle person up close and personal.

Sure that Hitler is a Jew, but he is still a person.
