Although Hitler probably is getting more votes because historically he is more 'opular'. He was a super genius, his rise to power and becoming furer were unbelievable, how not a single act he did could have led to him feeling the power of the judicial system. It was trully phenomenal but from what I know Stalin was not only a terror among foreigners but a tyrannical monster amongst his own people. Personally responsible for mass genocides, violation of countless human rights against his own people.
Hitler was a school dropout who had bad grades in school, not a genius.
Furthermore, Hitler was never that popular, the Nazi party never won more than 50% of the vote.
His rise to power was not ''unbelievable'', but because of sheer luck, a Depression and the divisions amongst his enemies.
Ever heard of the Gestapo? Hitler brutalized his own people too. He was also responsible for genocides against his own people (Jews, Roma, Communists, Homosexuals).
I'm astounded anyone can actually compare two of the greatest monsters in history, whatever their merits may be.

Precisely my point 5 pages ago.
Stalin was a monster and so was Hitler. Choosing between the two is impossible, unless you relish backing dictators who cruelly torture those who disagree, kill their own people by the thousands and threaten the rest of the worlds stability for their own selfish gain.

Well if you had considered to do some research that not everybody is smart at an early age or throughout their teen years, some individuals are 'late bloomers', clearly that phrase perfectly matches up with Hitler.
His rise to power was not ''unbelievable'', but because of sheer luck, a Depression and the divisions amongst his enemies.
But yet he was the only one smart enough to abuse the situation for his own means. That requires a certain amount of intelligence.
Furthermore, Hitler was never that popular, the Nazi party never won more than 50% of the vote.
When I say historically popular I am referring to the amount of knowledge people nowadays have about Hitler and Stalin, of course more people know about Hitler than Stalin.

Once again Hitler did not consider them as 'his' people, 'his' people were the Aryan race as he had dubbed them and these individuals weren't gay, disabled, communists, jews, etc. they were pure blood healthy germans.

Well actually there have been worse, e.g. Genghis Khan responsible for the take over of asia during his reign and cannibalising countless others, violating both men and women beyond sensible measure, Caligula was a brutal and incestuous monster as Caesar.

Hitler was NOT an intelligent "mastermind" but a person who had good advisers and forced scientific labor.
Why would Hitlers own generals and admirals conspire to kill him to end the war if he were such a great leader and "intelligent" man. Hitler refused to use his Panzer Divisions offensively and defensively at the request of his generals but instead held them in reserve. Hitler didn't create nor strategically mastermind the U-Boat battles...it was Admiral Doenitz who knew what to do!
Nor did he mastermind the military operations of the war.
He was a political genius, but that was that for his brain.

Really? Care to back up such a wild claim? People in Russia will naturally know more about Stalin, and vice versa for the Germans, but any stats to back your claim up?
Once again Hitler did not consider them as 'his' people, 'his' people were the Aryan race as he had dubbed them and these individuals weren't gay, disabled, communists, jews, etc. they were pure blood healthy germans.
Right. So, when you take people who held German citizenship illegally, strip them of it, kill them, you have absolved yourself of not killing your own citizens?
Rankles of being a Hitler apologetic to me.
Well actually there have been worse, e.g. Genghis Khan responsible for the take over of asia during his reign and cannibalising countless others, violating both men and women beyond sensible measure, Caligula was a brutal and incestuous monster as Caesar.
Caligula did not murder millions of people. Nor did Caesar.
And so, we are now back to the practice of ranking evil based on the number of corpses? Sounds rather insensitive. So a person who has caused the deaths of a million is not as evil as one who causes the deaths of a million and one?
But yet he was the only one smart enough to abuse the situation for his own means. That requires a certain amount of intelligence.
Being a political genius does not mean one is smart or intelligent.
Stalin, without doubt.
I vote Hitler. Stalin looks like Colonel Sanders or Mario, which is too freaky for me.
