Stalin industrialized Russia. This led over 120 million illiterate peasants who still used wooden tools, out of the Middle Ages. This turned a feudal society into superpower capable of taking defense against imperialist powers.
Because of this, he was able to lead Russia to victory over the Nazis.
Hitler TRIED to purify the human race and make it a better place, contrary to Stalin who tried to make Russia a better place to him, and Hitler managed to "urify" the human race better than Stalin
No, he tried to kill everyone who didn't fit into his idea of a perfect German. He tried to make the world a better place for Germans, by eliminating everyone else.
And that was a ridiculous statement on Stalin. On the contrary, Stalin took great efforts to better the Soviet Union.
How could he make a whole country "better for him"? That statement doesn't even make sense on a logical basis, let alone a political and social one.
Also Hitler was a genius defeating most of Europe, Africa and part of Russia using mainly the Blitzkrieg strategy
Hitler was horrible strategist. He did not trust any of his generals and made very dumb plans in his invasion of WW2.
The Blitzkrieg strategy failed miserably. The plan was to take out the Soviet Union in a couple of months, but the war lasted nearly 5 years. 500,000 Germans died within the first few months of the war.
Although the Germans made quick advancements into the Soviet Union, it was primarily because of the surprise attack and their air and tank superiority.
Hitler also did not let anyone of his armies to surrender, even when they were hopelessly doomed. Paulus's 6th Army, consisting of 250,000 men, surrounded by the Red Army in the middle of a Russian Winter with no supplies and food, was given orders not to surrender. By the time the Russians captures them, only 90,000 of the troops remained and most of them died shortly after from disease. Only 6,000 Germans of that army survived by the end of the war.
and he got German out of their economical crisis as well as Canada, U.S.A and other countries because of the war.
At the cost of the largest war ever to exist which completely devastated Germany and the USSR and cost the lives of 60 million people.
Hitler was a madmen.
@tomer
You call grouping civilians, not giving them any weapons and launching them against german mashine-gunners good tactics?
I think that was a one time desperate attempt and was not done on a large scale.
The Germans were bombing the city with up to 2000 planes a day, the supply line was cut off.
And I believe this took place in urban warfare, so it wasn't like 200,000 soldiers running in an open field and being shot down by Maxims.
They were dead if they did nothing as well.
