Fadac, this is nit-picking, but you stated that "He did a lot of black things, but there were some good things too." Well, I just have to remark that I doubt if the Nasty Man had anything to do with the Nazi government's campaigns against smoking and drunk driving. I can't imagine he took much thought to anyone's welfare but his own.

I suspect there were plenty of decent, competent people doing the best they could within the confines of that regime, just as Rommel was a fine general without feeling any particular sympathy with the Nazi party that I know of. (Not quarreling with your main point, just pointing out that I assumed somebody besides the Nasty Man was responsible for those to-my-mind excellent laws.)
