I don't know that much about Hitler, but, by all accounts, it seems like he was a great leader. I don't mean great in that he did good things, but he united so many people in a cause. It's hard for me to think of another modern leader who has had so much impact on the world. I'm sure it's not the best comparison, but I am watching the TV show The Handmaid's Tale right now and maybe there are some similarities. The Handmaid's Tale also deals with a totalitarian society. When the society was conceived, there were some good motives and goals. I'm sure that's the case with Hitler too. He had some good ideas and intentions, but some of them were horrible and in the end it was pretty hard to see any good that came from his leadership. Regardless of the horrible things that he did, it's certainly worth studying how he was able to pull off what he did on such a huge scale.
