How anyone can even try to draw a positive out of that utterly mystifies me.
During a raid on Thames Haven, on 24 August, some German aircraft (one commanded by Rudolf Hallensleben who went on to win the Knights Cross for other actions)[10] strayed over London and dropped bombs in the east and northeast parts of the city, Bethnal Green, Hackney, Islington, Tottenham and Finchley. This prompted the British to mount a retaliatory raid on Berlin the next night with bombs falling in Kreuzberg and Wedding, causing 10 deaths.

You talk about Hitler as if you knew him personally.

Granted...and well said. As far as I'm concerned, 'thinking outside of the box' is taking a serious look at the outside factors...the Bushes and the Fords and the role of Western finance in the Nazi state. That's why these discussions are important...they turn the light on the shades of gray.

but it's a good one
Actually, its a self defeating dangerous waste of time.
All it leads to is idolatory fantasies.
In this case, it leads to people thinking that somehow one of - if not the single most - dangerous dictator that ever lived was somehow a nice person, when he most certainly was nothing of the sort.
To be fair, can you show your reasoning with a link or unbiased historical facts? More dangerous than Lenin?

The Second World War is probably the most researched , studied and documented event in world history. Thousands of volumes have been written, from all sides and sources both allied and German and Japanese.
To simply reject all that and say you are thinking "outside the box" is ridiculous and very superficial. So, I assume you have done your own study of mathematics? Don't want to accept the "official sotry" there!
Instead of actual history you Hitler apolologists post silly internet crap from silly sources and pretend you are scholars,
What tripe.
Let's cut to the chase, if you admire Hitler and his actions, simply say so and be done with it. don't hide behind ridiculous pseudo historical BS.
There are so many lies, misinformation and pro NAZI propaganda on the web it's ridiculous. All aimed at the uneducated, easily propagandized mind. If you CHOOSE to be one of those people, so be it. It's your Karma you are taking off a cliff. Ignore reality if you wish, but youyou could not be more wrong, Hitler was not misunderstood, he was a monster, a psychotic murderer. If you admire that, may God help you.
1. Subtly or not so subtly intimidate anyone who might be open to the possibility of a conspiracy by questioning the mental state of conspiracy advocates and pretending they are outcasts of society whose opinions nobody cares about.
11. Always question the motives of conspiracy theorists.
24. Don't write about the topics conspiracy theorists bring up. Instead, write about conspiracy theorists.

Maybe, oh I don't know, because the subject of the thread is Adolph Hitler? And how poor Adolph was misunderstood and all the nasty lies published about him. Why don't you start your own thread?
And by the way, how do you feel about Hitler Donny?

If someone wishes to research, study or discuss more then let them do it. Eventually people will reach the truth whatever it may be.

Take a deep breath, and pull the doomsday weapon: You suck!
You're a Jew-hater, Arab-lover, anti-Semite, you're a pinko, a commie, a dreamer, a naive, a self-hater, you have issues, your mother worked for the Nazis, Prince Bandar buys you cookies, you forgot you were responsible for the holocaust, etc. The more the merrier. By the time you end this barrage, only a handful would be left standing. For mopping them up, you use the ultimate postmodern wisdom: Everything sucks.
