If Hitler would have been a good guy ,neigh, a great guy
If ole Adlolf had gone the exact opposite direction , in life.
Is there any way he would have accomplished , any where near has much?
Would other countries have been running in his direction to sign on?

Preacher, Seasons II & III have a Hitler character in Hell and also on earth ... If you want to see another side of the guy a la Hollywood.

It's hard to say since all we really know is that he sucked as an architect and a painter. But if he still had the drive to perfect himself as a speaker and he'd chosen to push for a positive path out of the mire for Germany, maybe he would've still had one hell of an impact. The joker is the deck is war - would he have been able to keep the top position, do more and lasted longer if he hadn't bet everything on force?

Are there enough people that want to really great things, that would follow him? Like the evil people did

Evil people followed him, but so did millions of people who are just suckers for a well-delivered speech and a handful of promises.

If you are interested in the topic of powerful men, Erik Erickson, a psychoanalyst extensively studied the childhoods of Hitler, Ghandi, and Martin Luther. It is interesting reading.

In “Philosopher's Stone/Sorcerer’s Stone”, when Harry chooses his wand, Ollivander says: “The wand chooses the wizard, remember … ... After all, ‘He Who Must Not Be Named’ did great things – terrible, yes, but great.”
“Great”, as in “memorable”.
Same thing for AH, “great things”—terrible, yes, but “great”.

I just saw that movie a few nights ago. It is very humorous and very dark, and very well done.

Watching our modern Left here, I have come to understand how Hitler duped masses into following him. It's scary.

When politicians offer to make you safe, (1933 Reichstadt fire that led to passing new laws to keep Germans "safer" and giving the Chancellor (Hitler) more draconian powers, like the Patriot act) run away and lock your doors.

In 1937 Churchill thought Hitler was an OK guy....

One may dislike Hitler’s system and yet admire his patriotic achievement. If our country were defeated, I hope we should find a champion as indomitable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among the nations...

Post WW1 German societal issues and economics played a big part in Hitlers rise to power. He played on these issues and told the German people what they wanted to hear. Sound familiar?

It is interesting to reflect on Germany in 1939 and USA today, but we know and can plainly see that biden and bernie are not Hitler.
However - had 2016 been different and Hilly had come to power....
The saying what the masses want to hear and the oppression of the same -
there would have been comparisons to be made IMO.

Hilary didn't have the charisma to be a Hitler.
Ruthlessness to be a Stalin on the other hand...
