Well, yeah. His anti Semitic rhetoric snowballed into mass genocide? Yeah. Oh and he marched into Poland and other countries and took over? and he qualified as a dictator. he's a bad man. read an encyclopedia.

Read Halina Birenbaum's book who's an actual survivor of Hitler's reign and see for yourself if Hitler is a "BAD MAN"

Well he wasn't a president, he was a dictator. And why was he bad? Little things like mass murder, trying to conquer the world, executing civilians en-masse, concentration camps, hanging people on piano wire, beheading a lot others.
Religious bigotry and murder as part of it..... Why not much I guess. For a good point I suppose you could say he loved dogs.

hitler represented how many germans were feeling after WWI. So I say no, hew asn't a bad man, he just went about progressing the state of Germany in a bad way. He only offered immediate soutions to his people rather than a long term plans, taht made him a bad leader. (not to mention the whole "follow-my-lead-or-die" mentality and the murder of black/jews/jehovahs witnesses/homosexuals/handicapped people)

Hitler was a President? I thought he was a Dictator!

Reichskanzler was his position, not President. He was a good man, he liked animals, hated hunting (wanted to outlaw it after the war) and was a vegetarian. He wanted to solve the problems of Germany with a quick and bloody war, which he thought was more humane than agonizing non-sustainable peace and economic hardships. He crippled unemployment and induced a baby-boom. For Germans, he would be very good, if he'd won.
I guess that's one way to judge him.

Are you kidding? Heck, yeah. 72 million people died in WWII, including over 40 million civilians, more than half of which were killed as a result of Nazi Germany, and around 6 million of those innocent people murdered by Hitler in concentration camps. He was a fascist, a dictator, a murderer, and a racist. Doesn't get any worse than that.

Hitler was not a president, he was not elected.
Does the murder of six million people seem evil
enough to you?
He not only killed Jews, but anyone whom he considered
inferior.
Today, we call someone like him a terrorist!

First of all it was Chancellor, not president and considering he used propaganda to plot and perform mass murder, yeah, I'd say he was a bad man.

chancellor hitler was directly responsible for the death of about 60,000,000 people.
this included about 8,000,000 germans (this figure including jewish german nationals).
he was indirectly responsible for the deaths of about 20,000,000 more who died in the economic chaos of germany , the rest of europe, and the far east in the immediate aftermath of the war.
i think someone who causes one unnecessary death is probably a bad man.
hitler qualifies easily.
