For starters I hate Hitler. However I am more angry/disappointed with the people who allowed it to happen and were sub-servant in his cause. Plenty of people rant racist/prejudice/xenophobic tirades all the time but the supposedly educated masses usually just ignore them. That a first world country with relatively decent education allowed itself to go the way it did is disgraceful and saddening. Hitler was an objectively bad person and I don't think anybody can argue that. To be honest hearing people say "he was doing what he thought was right" is really sad. Seeing as how even his studies his scientists performed gathered evidence against his cause and he just brushed it under the rug. He was in it for himself for the conquest, not some ill-perceived greater good. Every bit of evidence and moral fiber pointed towards him being wrong, he had to know. I am hard pressed to believe that somebody who has the competence to run a regime going for the brass ring is so disassociated that he couldn't see the folly of his ways. But I wasn't there, I am no expert. If he was that crazy than that just says something about the general intelligence of the German people circa 1930s-40s. Their loss, they can keep hither, we got Einstein.
