What do you think of Hitler as a person. Some would say he is awesome some like me would say he wasnt a very good person. And maybe what your saying is true.

Well I don't see how he could be a good person, considering the horrible things he did as a leader. Also I didn't realy know him personally haha.

There's many Hitler/holocaust/WWII threads. Perhaps this topic should be moved to one of them.

I think it's fine where it is, it's not just about Hitler in general, but whether or not he was a great person.

I wouldn't call him great, I'd actually call him pretty messed up and evil. However, I believe that he was exceptionally smart.

He was a terrible person. I don't think there's enough evidence to the contrary to make it sway in the other direction even just a tiny bit.

I don't know anyone that holds the opposite viewpoint.. but then, I don't really hang out with islamic militants or skinheads.

He was a genius. . .but he was indisputably evil by my standards.

He was just about as close to evil a human can get.
I dont think there is going to be a debate about this...

He was a genius

Yes, I must agree with that Alt he was a very intellegent person. He was a very talented artist but when he was young both of his parents died and he was sent to Austria but he couldn't get into an art school. Then he started to live on the streets as a homeless person. This is when he started to think into politics and started to get his bad views of Jewish people.
but he was indisputably evil by my standards.

Yes, Alt again I must agree with this statement.
After serving in world war 1 as a soldier for Austria he left to Germany and started to take over the country promising good times for the people. And when he finally became dictator of Germany he started to kill the Jews doing all those horrible things that he did.
Overall, he wasn't going to be a bad person untill he moved to the streets in Austria because his parents died. So yes, he was an indisputably evil horrible person, but I don't think it was going to be that way at first because he wanted to be a preist when he was young. (Ironic isn't it?)

He was for inequality, hatred, militarism, corporatism, degrading women, and war.

He was a vile human being.

I get sick of people when they say he was a genius. Learn about how he got to power, and the extraneous variables that helped him on the way. You would soon realise he was very far from a genius.

As for his personality listman summed it up quite nicely.

Hitler wasnt a genius even according to an IQ scale. he was of "average" intelligence. his officials, advisors, generals, and specialists, on the other hand, were almost entirely "above average" or "genius". so that's that out of the way.
as for him as a person, he was anti-semetic, homophobic, racist, sexist, murderous, and quite obviously blinded by power. no, he was not a good person, no matter how you twist it.

As far as I'm concerned the fact that he tried to take over the world and erraticate all non "aryan" peoples purely because it was possible shows that he wasn't a good person by any sense at all.
