Adolf Hitler !!!! was a hero or a villain of his time???

Adolf Hitler? A hero? Are you crazy? A hero is someone who saves life not the one who takes it. Irrespective of his so called services to Germany, he remains a barbarian and will always be looked down upon. He killed innocent, children, women, men, old and young mercilessly based upon his own set of beliefs. I don't think i need to elaborate on the extent and gravity of his crimes in detail as it would open up the healing wounds. But honestly, I found this title of discussion offensive. It should have been: Adlof Hitler!!!! was a villian or a demon???

Hitler was a hero to 26 million Germans! Germany lost WW1 and after the war there was no post-war help extended to Germany. The country and the economy was in tatters and the German people were left helpless, and hungry. Hitler came along with a vision of a Super race, and a Super country. He was a Great speaker and soon became a Great leader. Because Germany was left helpless and hungry after WW1, the people felt isolated from the rest of the world. They did not realize that their Great leader had tyrannical ideas, or that he was planning to systematically murder millions, and subsequently did not put any checks and balances in his Government. By the time the population of Germany caught on to the extent of Hitlers horrible activities, it was already too late to stop him. Hitler went down in history as a monster who killed Millions, but the world at large allowed him to do it. People from all countries concerned were content to let him go, and content to let him continue on his road to hell. He stepped on many toes, was even allowed to run over Poland, and it was only when he declared war on England, that he was taken seriously by the world at large. Hitler was a hero to his people. He had 26 million German admirers who adored him! Hitler was a lunatic, who was loved, adored, and allowed to work his evil magic by his adoring countrymen. Was Hitler the evil genius, were the German people to blame for electing him, and not limiting his power, or was the world to blame for not stopping him sooner? Was Hitler

Hitler is probably the most dangerous villain of his time. Did you know that he created a cult which made the Germans unified and frenzied? He was into the occult and committed atrocities to different peoples in Europe. And to kill people with just a reason of they are disabled or are sick is not acceptable today. He may have been a great man of his time but history has judged him well.

I strongly believe Adolf Hitler was definitely a villain. He killed so many people unjustifiably and inhumanely. He was nothing but a monster. He not only tortured and murdered so many innocent people in his own country, but throughout many parts of Europe as well. What he did goes against God. Adolf Hitler was the devil himself.

I don't know much about him. What I know about him is that he was raised well and he was very good until he became evil. Another thing I know is that we were both born on April 20.

If not world warII. no doubt that Hitler must was a hero. but history is history. we're cannot imagination Hitler's heart why he so cruelly slaughtered thousand and thousand of innocent people. Only this reason Hitler was a quite villain. Today, history was past the wheels let us cherish peaceful!

basically saying as much i know he was the supporter and hero for a particular community. yes i agree that he made his country to success and made it powerfull but final outcome of that was destructive and was responsible for world war. he just was hero earlier and thats why reached to highest position in his country but than he started all things that were against humanity. he tried cpturing other country adn started war every where. many other ill activites are there that you can come to know from history so final conclusion from me is that he was not at all hero but a villian of his time and may be others do not agree with my view.

I disagree with those who posted saying that Hitler was considered a hero until his atrocities were discovered. WWII didn't start because of some atrocities that were discovered. WWII began because Hitler started wars within Europe to expand his empire. I knew a woman who lived in Germany at the time and she claims that even the German people had no idea that the Jews were being viciously slaughtered. All that they knew was that they were hungry and when Hitler came into power they weren't hungry any more. There is nothing about Adolf Hitler that is heroic. He was mass murderer and such a coward that he took his own life rather than subject himself to punishment for his war crimes.

dude you need to read history.He pull Germany out of recession but things he did with Jewish people was plain barbaric.He was pure evil.Even he has done few good things he can not be hero for that.

what i've heard about him says he was a villan

sometimes a hero, sometimes a villain...

Well he was a hero then became a villain at some point. He was a hero for making his country stand up to the rest of the European regions, with excellent military and a good economy. The downside of it is it has gotten into him too much, that he chose to eliminate and/or enslave those who aren't of the German nationality. He got so obsessed with power for himself and his countrymen that he didn't even realise how much he has affected everyone else in a bad way.

What I believe is to become popular we have to either be too bad(villain) or have to be too good.I think he had tried both the ways.That is why the subject History in incomplete with this legend.Really nobody can become a great dictator like him.He has done a lot for Germany.But his way of doing things were indeed very cruel.I was watching his biography in history channel few days ago.He was very punctual in his work and also he wanted every thing to be done according to his plans without any delay.But what a downfall we have seen in Germany after WW2.

I think he was looked at as a hero in the 1930s but after WWII when the atrocities of the Nazis were revealed, he became a villain. A villain so great that he is the standard which to all evil dictators (past and present) are compared.

I thnk that every good has his part of evil. So was with Hitler. So was with comunism. What we can do is to learn from the history and try to evoid doing the same mistakes like in the past
