many reasons hitler was great: #1 freed many nations that the british empire held as slaves. #2 introduced social security to nations. #3 introduced socialized medical care. #4 provided free upper education. #5 freed nations of british trade sanctions. #6 freed nations from having to to use british banks to trade. #7 supported japan from usa naval blockade of oil going to japan. # 8 freed the european nation of royal family dictatorship (remember the movie 'sound of music' where hollywood jews supported the jew royal families, and trashed those who wanted to free from a royal family dictatorship?). long list. there are good leaders and bad leaders. and part way leaders.
