Eh, I am rather adverse to Hitler. But not the way Abraham Foxman and friends want me to be, but the way many of Germany's best generals were. Read Manstein's memoirs, Guderian's memoirs. David Frasier's biography on Rommel is also interesting. Hitler lost the war that Germany had won, and he showed callus disregard for the lives of his own people. He also favored absolute barbarity against gentile Poles and Russians. I still think Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin were worse....

I wouldn't go as far to say they would have won even without Hitler's military blunders. Even if after they pushed passed Moscow, the Soviets would of kept fighting. Germany would have long run out of resources when the industrial power of the US presented itself in Europe.

Don't forget the atomic bomb was originally designed for Germany.
