The Germans were winning the war up until late 1942. Hitler basically flushed everything they had accomplished down the toilet over a potential propaganda victory. He was so fixated on capturing a city with Stalin's name on it that he allowed his best troops to be encircled and wiped out or captured. He was generally a strong leader, but he made a terrible mistake he could never come back from. From 1943 on the Germans were being beaten on all fronts. He was also very charismatic and gave excellent speeches that could move a crowd. I don't hate Hitler. I just look at him objectively for what he was. Also anti-semitism was very common at the time. That's not something that was unique to Hitler or the Nazis. The Germans were also treated so badly by the Allies after World War 1 that a Second World War was guaranteed.
