Leadership skills, he was no leader, he was a nut case. Even members of the Nazi Party wanted to get rid of him.

I don't know if they admire it, per se, but if you take away the hatred, violence, genocide, and gross disregard for human life, he was a very powerful and influential person. He was in no way a great man, but he was able to inspire generations of mankind into believing in his cause....very sick, and extremely sad, as it may be.

They hear "great leader" and think "great". He was a monomaniacal and psychotic *effective* leader of haters and nutcases and nationalistic people who didn't question authority, and later kept them in line with terror.

The admiration of Hitler's 'leadership qualities' (even excluding all the mass genocide etc, notwithstanding) is something I frown upon. Likewise, the trivialization, minimalization, (even glamorization, of what evil Hitler pursued to achieve) of the Nazi holocaust - should never be considered by anyone, whether they are educated in WWII history, or not. There is nothing even remotely funny about the Nazi's activities, and nothing at all 'deserved' for the Jewish people. This will be like the equivalent of me making fun at the expense of the 911 man-made disaster on some late night comedy show. Hilarious.

Who on earth would admire Hitler's leadership qualities. He put fear into everyone. That is not leadership, that is evil.

Thats one of the paradoxes that puzzles the social psychologists to this day. If a person of such perverted nature could gain total control of a well educated population of Germany, using hate as bait, what more could happen in this world of ours? It is time every human being became vigilant and would not allow the Hitler types to flourish. We know there are plenty of them around looking for the susceptible.

Don't know that anybody admires him.

It's sad that few people bother to get an education before they make accusations. Let me ask this question: Why did Hitler come to power in the first place? It's easy for everyone to condemn him for what he was accused of, but no one wants to learn WHY? Why did things happen the way they did? ¶ Germany was economically destroyed by the reparations forced on it by the Treaty of Versailles. They spend 13 years under the Weimar Republic government which was controlled by the Jews. The Jews ran the country into bankruptcy in the early 1920s, and after a slow recovery, Germany was about to go under for a second time - this time by the Great Depression. By the time Hitler was appointed Chancellor, the Jews were getting rich controlling everything while the German people were unemployed, homeless, and starving. Hitler wanted nothing more than to get out from under the Versailles Treaty and restore his country's economy. To do this, he had to put the German people in charge of the government. This is what the enabling acts did. Once the Jews no longer had control, their so-called "intellectuals" (Zionism) declared war on Germany. Once in power, Hitler turned Germany into the strongest economy in the world - all in 6 short years. ¶ A lack of "leadership"? You people don't know what you're talking about. Under Hitler's watch, unemployment fell from 30% to just 3%. Name any other world leader who can do that.
