We all know Hitler was at base a nut, for whatever reason(s). Nonetheless, he was competent and charismatic, as proved by his becoming Fuhrer and creating a nationwide cult of personality about himself. So I occasionally wonder: was there a point in his career at which, had he died immediately thereafter, he would been remembered as a great leader rather than one of history's greatest villains?
This is not any kind of Hitler apologia. The man more than earned the loathing and revulsion that has been heaped upon him. I won't claim otherwise for an instant. My question is only about possible AH perceptions of him.
