Hitler was charasmatic and artistic. These two ingrediants are all that were needed for hitlers war. I read earlier that someone mentioned how poor hitler was as a strategist. The only good strategy hitler had, was keeping the US out of the war as long as he did. Then again, i guess that really wasnt a strategy either, just the way the cookie crumbled it also eventually crumbled all over him. We could all be speaking German and japanese right now, if hitler had chose to trust his Generals a bit more.

again "GOOD" is a question of definition and we can't possibly decide whther a person is "good" or "bad"....if anything, it'S a vague opinion
I think there is only one definition for good and bad. Perspectives and opinions may change the way the definitions are viewed. Are you saying that there is ultimately no good or bad, or just that we cannot decide whether another person is good or bad?

Maybe then they would have known that appeasing Hitler wasn't going to stop him. It was years into German rearmamnet before anyone would listen to the intelligence reports that the Nazis were rebuilding their army. Sure, no one wanted another world war..and that's why the appeased him. But if they had done something earlier, they could have stopped him before he got started.
Actually, Chamberlain began his appeasement policy simply because he knew that Britain and France were in no position to stop Germany... had we attacked Germany earlier, we would have been beaten even more quickly... as it is we clung on by the skin of our teeth... the appeasement period was used by the British to build up our armed forces, especially the navy and RAF to get them on a war footing... we had made some unfortunate alliances, and rejected some that would have been wiser... for instance, had we not allowed the anti-communist prejudice of men such as Churchill to get in the way, we would have allied with Russia before hitler got chummy with Stalin.... had Chamberlain been able to convince the British public that waiting another year would have put us in a better position to defend britain we may have fared better... instead they listened to Churchill....

Eva Braun, she wasn't his wife.
Yes she was. She was his mistress the whole time, but when Hitler accepted that he lost, he married her, and then ten days later he killed himself. First, he tested the poison on his beloved dog Blondie, and it died. Then, Eva drank it, and died. After a few minutes of reflection, Hitler drank the poison, and then as he was dying from it, he shot himself in the head to get it over quicker. He did this so the three of them (Blondie, Eva, and Hitler) would live in the afterlife together, forever.

Both, we can't decide because there is no Ultimate good
Says whom? No one REALLY knows anything about anything. We just gave things definitions for the sake of communication. Take away science and religoun, all we have is an idea. Gives us science and religoun and all we have is an idea. Somthing somewhere must have concieved our idea's to be thought.

was she his neice, or was his neice the one who killed herself?
His niece was the one that committed suicide when he refused to see her any longer. Eva Braun married him and then committed suicide with him. And another lover of his was Winnie Wagner, the daughter or grand daughter of Richard Wagner, his favorite operatic composer. She actually survied the war and was a die hard Nazi until she died in 1980.
