No, just a bit mad and at the wrong place at the right time with the right ideas, right ideas until he thought about taking over the world and all that.
He built motorways, provided jobs etc when Germany was having a bad time, thats why he was voted in.
He believed what he was doing was right and just and noble.
He was deeply wrong and what he did was evil but he himself was not.
Actually eastern expansion was always part of his ideology, as was his ridding Europe of Jews. He didn't get in for his policy on providing jobs or banning hunting- he got in because times were really bad and people looked to the extreme nationalist wings to repair damaged pride from world war one and make Germany great again.
It is ambiguous to a certain extent based on perspective though, today, nearly every if not every sane person would say that he was for the atrocities he committed. He clearly didn't think he was evil, just that he was doing the right thing ...and his followers probably thought the same thing as well.

'Course he wasn't evil. There is no "good and evil" as such anymore, they're outdated and old-fashioned ways of thinking, obviously with religious roots. Hitler was a mentally unstable sociopath with delusions of grandeur. He was no more 'evil' than anybody else.

Hitler was the nicest, kindest, jolliest, heartiest old fellow who ever lived. If all white people were like him, the world would be a better place.

Hitler is evil at one of its purist states: Completely sick, insane, ambitious, and unaware that what he is doing is wrong. People talk about point of view, but when that point of view murders millions, it's 100% evil.
And killing the Jews, I'm guessing. These were plans he had from the start, he just didn't know they'd come true. When an egg is hatching, it'll become a chicken, because it's set to be a chicken. Hitler was a nut, so he set to become an even bigger nut.
