Don't get me wrong, there have been worse leaders (if you only count how he benefited his own ethnic group, if you count how he handled his allies or other ethnic groups then he is bottom tier already) but I don't get why SFcels act like this dude is some genius.
He was extremely charismatic and I will give him props for that (do note that all of the german people were extremely poor and desperate for power again so he got lucky as far as timing), but almost all of his personal ordered successes were pure luck or the allies just being stupid. Hitler would have been already off to a much worse start if France and the UK never abandoned Czechoslovakia (the sudetenland was extremely fortified, similar to the maginot iirc).
From the start, his economy was complete garbage and would have collapsed almost no matter what in the long term, it seems to have worked if you look at it how it was but that's because we never saw past 1945. He literally brushed off nuclear science (probably the only thing that could have saved him) as jewish science and destroyed any chance of him becoming a major superpower.
Then you have the garbage diplomacy, he had quite a few chances at convincing important new allies (spain, turkey) which he ignored, and after all that the most obvious one is him ignoring and often executing his extremely good generals in favor of random suicide counter attacks because he himself thought he was some genius.
Molotov-Ribbentrop was a pretty good decision but he totally ruined the surprise by fucking it up and invading too late and then refused to retreat any troops which got all his women raped and men tortured and killed by the slavs, a ton of which could be avoided if he put his "genius" aside for a moment.
Idk, just cagefuel to see SFcels act like he was some world class leader that the world hated because he was so legendary, it was 45% the allies being dumbasses, 45% lucky and maybe like 10% actually good choices. I guess you could say his ideologt was the genius part if you're into that but it also stopped him from getting nukes and his radicalization made literally every democracy hate him.
