Well...without a doubt the quality of life in Germany under the nazis was quite high and people were very happy. The average French person even seemed to enjoy being occupied by the nazis. They had a huge approval rating among ordinary people.
But as you may know, Germany was destroyed by external forces. The 3 greatest empires on earth ganged up on Germany and managed to defeat it. Although it was close.
That was not the fault of hitler...who never wanted war with the uk or France or the US. He was certainly planning to acquire Ukraine from the start so war with the ussr was inevitable...but that is all..
the destruction of ww2 was not good for anyone involved. and I don't blame Hitler for that at all. He desperately attempted to make peace with the uk. His meetings with Churchill are still classified.
Do you just throw this stuff out there to see what sticks? I'm sure we remaining would be quite happy after putting all you Fascist Socialists, Marxist/Leninists, Progressives, felons, the mentally ill and retarded into work camps, confiscate your wealth and don't even waste the resources feeding you. Afterwords I think I might even feel entitled to all your wealth once the guilt (if I possess any) wears off. You and your children will be dead anyway so no one remains who will have any use for it. Make sure you make your beds before you leave your home and valuables for the last time. Yes! That's a great solution. Let's shall, let's shall!
And who were these 3 empires? UK, France, and US? The UK was indeed a large empire. France was worthless after about 2 weeks and actually aided and abetted the NAZI's. France was not a great empire at the time, not today, and certainly never in the top 3 save perhaps a short stint under Napoleon. The US isn't and never has been an empire. The US Constitution doesn't allow it. And it wasn't close.
Hitler most certainly DID want war with the UK, France, and the US. And indeed started the war. He didn't want it as soon as he got it, but he wanted it. He was convinced the appeasers didn't have the balls to declare war and planned to attack once he had consolidated Poland and Russia. After P&R he had plans to take France. Then Britain. Then South America and then the US. Documents are available to prove their intentions. Attempting to rewrite history are you?
Of course you don't blame Hitler. This would require you to overcome your Cognitive Dissonance. BTW, Churchill never met and didn't even correspond with Hitler privately. No love letters between these two.
