Would you agree that some of hitlers ideas and policies were good? :)
A complicated question that I know many would answer negatively. However, I feel that he motivated his people by giving them back their pride which was lost after the Treaty of Versailles. He rejuvenated his people by giving them a purpose in life by declaring that they were the best nation in the world. He brought back together his people into structured groups (albeit with racist motivations). After the depression he set up schemes to get people into work in the armaments industry and building autobahns. If my memory serves me correctly he cut unemployment from 5 million to less than a million people, which would indicate some good policies. The views he expressed when talking were vile, but he was certainly a charismatic speaker and you can see why so many were in awe of him; he was revered by adults and children alike. In my opinion he was one of the most charismatic politicians of all time.
Can his good political credentials be divorced at all from his horrendous political acts? Will history ever look at Hitler's policies individually and judge them on their basis instead of looking at his policies at a whole and seeing the anti-semitic and megalomaniac aspects of it?
