Was Adolf Hitler crazy or evil?

Answer 1

He had problems, he didn't get over these problems, his head was full of crap from other people,he didn't know how to handle this crap, so he went crazy. I guess he's both.

Answer 2

He was both, really, but not in the ways one might think. Up until 1939, Hitler was considered a genius. His policies and ideas had singlehandedly rebuilt Germany. He was held in godlike stature by his own country, and was well respected throughout the world. The war changed everything. As is documented, stress and a cocktail of various different drugs that he took for years, slowly eroded his sanity. By the end of the war he was a frothing, shaking, reclusive person that no one now a days would argue as anything other than mentally unbalanced. The evil part of this stems from his belief that the Jews were the cause of all of Germany's problems. Although there is absolutely nothing rooted in any type of fact whatsoever, he used this anti-Semitic idea to inflame the population and bring them back together. Through anti-semitism and channeling this hatred the country became whole again, since every non-Jewish German had something to blame for their problems. That was the evil in Hitler, using hate as a tool to mold and form the German state into a world power. Evil begets evil, and from then on, it was just a short time until there was a final solution for the Jewish question. Had Hitler not slowly gone mad, evil or no evil, Germany would have won the war.

Answer 3

I think he was a fantastic man (and no i'm not a neo nazi). I think he was misunderstood in the fact that he had a plan that he thought would bring Germany back to it's former greatness. He had an agenda with Jews because of his upbringing whereby he felt hard done by while all of the rich shop owners seemed to be jewish. Granted he did take things a BIT too far with the whole concentration camps and anti semetism and killing basically all minority groups to create the perfect aryan race but none the less he had a vision that he could change the world and he did! For the germans in general it wasn't that bad (or so it seems from most sources) He decreased unemployment vastly, helped slow down the depleation of population that gernany even now is feeling. And the standard of living was made SO much better! Now as for crazy, he did a hell of a lot to ensure that "his people" were well looked after. I don't see this as crazy. He wanted germany to be pure to ensure that the country could flourish in the best way possible. He just saw this as the easiest way to accomplish this.

Answer 4

Crazy in my opinion is where you cannot really carry out what you want to do. The true crazies are locked up unable to function. Evil is a religious term, and in religion no one is judged until it is all over and then only by God, so we cannot really say. I think he was truly convinced of his opinions, and was simply carrying out the next steps to that end. He was convinced that the Arians were the master race and his acts supported his opinions. Since people like to feel superior to each other he had lots of support. Tenacity paid off.

President bush and his band of fools have similar goals. Rumsfeld being at the top of the list. He had his opinion and nothing was going to stop him, even the truth. Bush is just a puppet so he really has no views.
I call Bush the Armageddon president, because he has shaken the beehive and it will not end until the world is destroyed.

Answer 5

He could very well have been both, there are different kinds of insanity that manifest different symptoms. I know people who are insane (not homicidal) but insane nontheless who need medication on a daily basis to keep it together and they couldn't be as calculating as Hitler was nor could they build the kind of empire that he built due to the confusion going on in their heads all the time. But if those of us who live here in America think back on the serial killers that have plagued our society they too were very cunning and calculating enough to out smart the authorities for a long time even years before getting caught. So, I would say they are both insane and evil, but their insanity isn't obvious, those are the scary ones if you ask me.

Answer 6

You omit the factor completely. the respond may be stumbled on interior the manifesto on the 'georgia guidestones' the place the requirement is to decrease the present, irresponsible, stages of inhabitants via ninety 5%. devil is likewise in the back of this and demands dying, misery and destruction - what do you think of happened interior the international wars that have been planned many years till now they befell? Hitler replaced into part of what you may understand by using fact the illuminati which originates out of Germany - he in elementary terms personified the NWO schedule. What with reference to the Catholic church killing 30m people ('heretics') interior the midsection a protracted time in in basic terms some months by using fact they knew the reality? of Vlad who enormously lots impaled a million/2 the inhabitants? we tend to forget approximately that the Jews went via quite a few holocausts between 9AD and the 2nd international conflict - universal killing way greater desirable than 6m of them. evaluate the function that many have performed in the time of historic past to reason dying, misery and destruction - they're all evil and part of the comparable satanic brotherhood. in basic terms evaluate the Clintons and Blair and then evaluate who they record to. David Icke has an informative information superhighway web site on those themes. If Hitler had overtaken the international, the anti-Christ could have been in place appropriate now and we would all be in an extremely terrible difficulty. nonetheless, this occasion is approximately to finally erupt any time now.

Answer 7

Well alot of his plans were supposed to have been written in Mein Kampf. Never read it so not sure. Assuming they are it was more evil. Now if you go by the war it was more crazy. He was on drugs heavily. Blame it on his doctor who was just as evil and actually expermenting on him with the drugs. That was why he wasn't willing to accept that he was losing the war. Although the way WW1 went might have been alot of it too. He was convinced that Germany was winning even though they were beat. They didn't tell the guys in the field how bad it was going until they lost and said to them that was over and they lost.

Answer 8

Mostly misunderstood. History has a way of ignoring what were the causes of Hitler and why he did the things he did because it's easier just to assume he's crazy.

He didn't just wake up this day and think "I hate Jews, I'll try to take over the world and kill them all." A lot led up to it but it's easier just to think he was crazy and evil.

He was a very flawed man with a lot of misdirected hate and not rational enough to lead an army, never mind a country but just assuming he's crazy and evil is ignorant. You have to understand the state Germany was in after WWI to understand how Hitler could fluorish. Germany was (and to an extent still is) very antisemitic, he was a product of his time and a country broken after a horrible war.

Answer 9

He was sick, in fact there is research that suggests he took amphetamines for his illness (Parkinsons), and this did cause a lot of trouble in his brain. I dont know if this could justify his evil side, I dont think so, but it is important to understand that individuals who harm other´s can do good too, Hitler smiled, gave gifts, did share love in his private life. I dont think someone is tooo evil or tooo good in this life, he did cause a lot of harm and destruction, terror to many people and history should be just and judge his good and bad actions.

Answer 10

Both. He had been taking mercury as some kind of cure for dental problems, and no doubt that made him insane (this is where we came up with the phrase "mad as a hatter" - mercury was used in the hat making process and once you're exposed to it for long enough, the toxicity gets to you).

He was also evil. Anyone who advocates and then puts a plan into action to accomplish genocide is evil.

Answer 11

You are speaking of ones perception. I personally beleive Hitler will be judged quite differently in years to come. He was , undoubtedly a political genius and he almost single handedly saved Europe from Communism in the early 1930s had he not gone bananas and started down the path to war he would have been a great hero to the German people.
Now we must see him as an example of that saying " Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
