blame hitler?

[Byzantine Prince]

Indeed , but let us leave emotions out , so Hitlar was responsible for the death of only 42,854,957.25 people or 16.833 people , what's that make him ? A saint ? No emotions , just numbers .
Belive me , I have tried , for years , to understand the man , but what's the use ?
Btw , to answer VEA VICTUS's question , Hitler was not responsible for the death of (20 , 30 , 40 , 50 or 60) millions , it was he , his party , his army , a big part of his nation , and so many collaborators .

Correct. Hitler is in no way directly responsible for the war or those casualties. He wasn't even directly involved in the Holocaust(not even sure if he fully aproved of it). Let's not forget that this was a whole government that had members that were responsible for different things. Party line was not invented by Hitler, there were racist parties that wanted war before him in Germany, and there were Aryan superiority theories that were popular before hitler as well. Hitler was the leader not because he was the most extremist of all the potentials but because he had the most powerful persona and was impressive at speaches, both qualities are irrespective to any extremety in evil.
