Before you jewhating retards get all excited about this:

The cover picture you love is not the genuine Man of The Year cover. That was this: https://api.time.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/1101390102_400.jpg?quality=85&w=400

and here's how your hero made the grade:

Hitler appeared on the cover of TIME on multiple occasions — most famously perhaps on Jan. 2, 1939, when he was named Man of the Year. That choice abided by the dictum of TIME founder Henry Luce, who decreed that the Man of the Year — now Person of the Year — was not an honor but instead should be a distinction applied to the newsmaker who most influenced world events for better or worse. In case that second criterion was lost on readers, the issue that named Hitler dispensed with the portrait treatment that cover subjects typically got. Instead he was depicted as a tiny figure with his back to the viewer, playing a massive organ with his murdered victims spinning on a St. Catherine’s wheel. Underneath the stark, black-and-white illustration was the caption, “From the unholy organist, a hymn of hate.”

I didn't post it for Jew-hating. It was to show how wrong the media can be and it happens often.

Time wasn't wrong. He was the most influential man of probably the surrounding 5 years . . . for bad. You might be surprised how commonly that distinction is lost on racists.
