Hitler did ONE good thing: he killed Hitler.

Hitler reinvigorated the economy of Germany. He got people back into employment. He made Germany powerful. Then he invaded Poland. That does undo a lot of good work.

I know a man whose father was a Nazi soldier and he told me when he was young he would hear his father's generation say things like, "At least when Hitler was in power we could go to the park at night it was so safe!"

He also told me that once on a train another soldier made a sexual advance on his father who then did as he was trained and stood up and in a loud voice shouted while pointing "This man is a homosexual!" The train came to an abrupt stop, and the gay soldier was taken outside and shot in the head as an example.

Interestingly enough, while his father was fighting the Soviets and everyone knew the Nazi cause was lost, he shot himself in the leg so he could go home and be with his girlfriend and that is what spared his life. Even in the midst of inhumanity, there was humanity.

Shot himself in the leg? If the townsfolk knew that, he'd have been spat on as a coward and a traitor. Loyalty to Hitler and the Third Reich will persist until the last committed ex-soldier has died if they haven't already... Next up are those who were in their mid teens in 1945 and indoctrinated.

And a teetotaler and nonsmoker as well. The 'epitome' of a self-abnegating 'high born' 'German' - which he was born neither.

Hitler was a self-professed vegetarian, but like most vegetarians, he ate animal products on the sly.

I know a devout Hindu whose wife told my wife that he eats meat at home in private. Vegetarians are human too ....

Prosperity is a long term achievement not built on a false promise....Hitler will be judged by the purpose and outcome of his inhumane reign???

Yes, he was a strict vegetarian who liked dogs and children... He was addicted to amphetamines, but and may possibly have had syphilis.
