    And how did that benefit humanity? I mean that is what you asked.

    Besides the autobahns I can't find anything that we could argue was good for 'us humans'.
    Besides a lot of hte research wasn't his work, but rather things that were already in the work (although of limited progress at the time).
    The jet engine, others were working on it as well. Rocketry would soon reach the V2 level anyway.

    There is also some less undevided good things, such as the bunch of very good research into the human body and how to benefit it, but it was reached by vile means (some argue we wouldn't have gotten a lot of that for a very long time without those kinds of disgusting experiments). So I guess it is a strange borderline 'good'. It did us good, but at the same time it most certainly didn't do other humans good at all.
    You may not care about war, but war cares about you!

    WWII ended the great depression in Europe by giving all the men jobs, if dangerous ones.

    Casting my mind back to my school A-level economics (which is more than 20 years ago, so not at the cutting edge of current research!) I remember my teacher saying that a case was being made that economically things had actually started to pick up before re-armament programs started. The economic cycle had reached its natural turning point where the vicious cycle of falling demand had gone as far as it could, and expenditure on basic essentials caused growth. He was probably referring to the UK economy rather than the whole of Europe, and of course the arms programme would certainly have had some effect on the speed of recovery.

    I can't think of anything he did good off the top of my head, but I'd say he really ruined the perception of Germans. Where I live and german is a Nazi, including Rammstein

    Whatever good he did was a poor return for all the bad that he inflicted.

    but I'd say he really ruined the perception of Germans.
    That maybe because Hitler didn't achieve what he did alone... many other nations have had the allure and of facism and turned it down. Sure he may have been the temptor... but the tempted are still responsible for their actions... and the consequences of those... Nuremburg trials did establish that following orders is no excuse for poor judgement.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
