What is the World's Perspective on Hitler?

      To a very large extent, and not just to his fellow Germans, but Hitler was seen as a force for good. Germany was in very poor shape before Hitler. The economy was down, unemployment, prostitution, misery was everywhere. By 1936 in just three short years Hitler had overcome much of this. A sense of national pride and regeneration had replaced dispair and misery of the past days. Sir Jon Simon refereed to Adolf Hitler as an "Austrian Joan of Arc with a mustache". The Prime Minister of England called Hitler "the George Washington of Germany". Hitler, then, was seen by many as a kind of saviour. Hitler's second offense was addressing the "Jew Problem". This program ignited a huge uproar against him. When Jew's came to Germany to begin businesses and social lives Germany became "Jewmany". Hitler was seen as a bulwak against Communism. The American State Department was overflowing with reports describing Communism as a Jewish-Controlled movement in 1919. Today the horrific event has been in some words lost. No one will ever forget this disturbing event but no one thinks much of it today. To some it is a thing of the past and something like this could never happen again, to others they think that something like this could happen at any moment, it just takes the right person.
