Adolf Hitler

Yes, Adolf Hitler is a genius. But a genius with a mental illness. He is a very intelligent man that manipulated all of germany like Wendy said. But he is a very huge nut.

 

Brilliant with war and manipultation tactic's, but his purpose was bad. IMO Genius to an point but I say again his intentions were bad.

 

Adolf Hitler, from my perspective and what I know of his reign upon Germany, was a power-hungry genius. He was known, famous, powerful, and in the end .. Dead. :]
I don't support Hitler nor do I think highly of his decisions, but the fact still remains that he WAS an extremely talented person who used his brain to his advantage.
He got rid of those who he didn't see fit to be an inhabitant of his idea of a "perfect world" and he did it with style. To bad he didn't have the brains to provide his soldiers with a little more than necessary, right? It worked, though .. For a while o.0 .

 

He was a genius, the way he turned germanys frown upside down, and the way he convinced a nation, that the eradication of not only jews, but gays and blacks, mentally handicapped, and the list goes on, was right, In the end, his power overcame him, and it caused him to mass murder millions of innocent people.

 

Able to swade the masses by picking on an easy scapegoat.. anyone can do that.

 

Hitler was a Evil genius.. he saw a poverished German Nation that was starving and poor and he knew how to manipulate this. he knew what they wanted and he could use this to gain mass support. along with his oratal skills he was able to manipulate thousands and thousdands of people with good intentions he could of done wonderful things. but he was pure evil.

 

Adolf Hitler was a tactical, fine leader, with a wrong judgment of the world and other people as well as he had a terrible reason for starting wars/taking over countries. Adolf Hitler had wanted everyone to be perfect, to be "the perfect German". In his eyes a perfect German had blond hair, etc. Which right there if you've seen or read about Hitlers in encyclopedia's you would know that he had not have had blond hair but rather black/brownish hair himself. Now, I've read some posts where people have said that Hitler was the best tactical war leader (Not exactly that but similar to that statement) That is a negative my friends, to my mind, a perfect war leader would be someone who has a good reason to fight. Which puts Adolf to a shame, because like I had said before his reason was to have everyone to be perfect. Someone like Alexander III (AKA Alexander the Great) had a reason, which should have been the same reason that Adolf had but he was selfish in his mind of reasoning, Alexander followed his father, and had wanted to only expand his empire instead of inspiring a perfect world and life, which Adolf didn't understand, which is why Hitler hadn't completed his ideal goal, because he thought he could reach that achievement when it was obviously going to end faster than he expected, he had the book smarts of war, not the street smarts, which led to his defeat.

 

Hid military idea of the blitkrieg was far superior than what others had in their war plan.But his ideas of extermination is just wrong. And one thing he did wrong was fighting a 2 front war.He didn't not even learn from WWI and he was a soldier there....

 

He was a political genius and all, but he was a harsh leader. I have a neighbor that was in a concentration camp and has a tattoo on her arm that was her "number" the way she tells me how it was in there it had to of been hell, if he would've used his economic power in a good way, he could've been an amazing dictator..

 

i can think of hitler in one way.

terrible person. good charismatic skills.

 

I don't think he intended for there to be two fronts.
When he invaded Poland, he intending on using it as a front against the USSR. Unfortunately for him, invading Poland triggered a reaction from Britain and France which caused the War to begin. (Although war was inevitable anyway)

I actually agree though.

 

This must be work of a cretin, as your theories clide, and do not make sense, jackass. Learn, research, then open that big horse mouth of yours, kid. At the same time, your two year old grammatical structure is also very sad, with the mistakes you made, my 5 year old nephew would not even do so. Cretins at it's finest.

 

When you look at the way he managed to literally brainwash most of the German people to hate all "non-areyans" it sort of shows you that he was very good at manipulation. I would have to agree that he was a maniac undoubtedly yet he was a very intelligent one. The way he cheated the German population into letting the Nazis lead is amazing. But like all great leaders he was evil and let his false sense of power lead him to making poor decisions. For example in Operation Barbarossa even though his generals told him to wait for a bit he still went against them and look what happened. Definitely a genius but an evil one.

 

Well Adolf Hitler , where to begin.

His hatred of Jews turned into Mass Murders, Suffocating them in Gas Chambers and whatnot, However he was a good leader, he led the german army well, however i still have dislike for him for persecuting innocent people.

The stupidist thing he did was kill himself after losing the war..

 

"The differance in genius and insanity is measured only by success."

That sums it up.

 

I'm glad he killed himself. That demon deserved to rot in hell. Killing innocent people like that.

 

and a coward for then killing himself. not taking punishment like a man

 

i think that he used his power too its full potential but in a bad way, he took advantage of his situation, he was a very smart man but also a very evil one at that.

 

A crazy war maniac, does not mean someone is some "insane genius" just because you aren't able to analyze the rest of his acts let alone his personality correctly. He was no genius in any way, shape, or form. I can tell you the names of some real geniuses: Stephen W. Hawking, Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, and Leonardo Da Vinci, just to name a few.

 

Ok, the reason he actually came to power was because of the severe depression that Treaty of Versailles caused. The Treaty said that Germany will pay reparations, and take the whole blame for the war ( Article 231 or the so-called "War guilt clause" ). The Germans lost Alsace-Lorraine , all of it's colonies and it's Army can only have 100,000 soldiers. Which by anyone's standards is a small army. Germany had to pay 132 million marks in reparation. And to pay it off the German government just printed and printed paper money--and if you know a little bit about it, money doesn't work by just printing and printing there must be gold or silver to back up the paper money-which caused an inflation. So that now like my history teacher put it, " A wheel barrow of money can buy someone a loaf of bread". Now that the background knowledge is set, focus on Hitler shall we?

Hitler came to power using the people. Meaning he used the sense of anger at the other countries, and even deeper patriotism he imbeded into them to gain power. There was a vacuum of power after Germany fell, and who else would come but someone who understood that. He promised them revenge, better living for the German folk, and to erase the shame the "Great War" as World War 1 was called. And he rallied the German people to raise arms, protect the sanctity of the German people. He preached revenge and an end to the suffering, in essence preached hope to them. Hope, something they haven't felt in 20 years! After the Treaty of Versailles the German people had nothing, they lost all hope. And someone smart enough would sooner or later realize that this is his ticket to power. Use the people's emotions. In this sense Hitler was a genius. And also I will reiterate, his plans of Blitzkrieg was far superior than what say the U.S. had, a bunch of old tanks and planes. He was also a madman for taking cocaine, but his madness might be caused by the sickness he had.
