how on earth did hitler do some good things, its believed that 50+ milllion people died due to one mans rascist and bigoted vision, there are no if's and but's to say this absolute stain on human history could of prevented another one is a sad outlook on life. He is hated and dispised and rightly so, he saved nothing and no one.

In reality the real turn around in the German economy probably had more to do with the fiscal responsiblity and sacrafices made by the previous coallitions (notably Brunning and Muller). In reality the autarkic program emblematic of Hitler's economic vision did more to make Germany economically inefficient.

His great public works programs did very little to enrich Germany. For example the autobahn only created a massive series of empty roads and the Volkswagen project was little more than a con perpetrated against Germans who thought they would receive a VW. Surprise, surprise they were slated for 1941 delivery, but who would have thought by then they were not delivered.

At the end of the day it was an economic system based on claiming credit (from the predecessor), thievery (from Jewish citizens), deficit spending (they never had to pay back due to war), and eventually plundering (from conquered Europe).

Also please don't say that Versallies was too unfair. The worse of it was oer by 1923 with the Dawes Plan. In fact as a result of the Dawes Plan and the Young Plan the US ended up pumping more money into the German economy (1919-1933) than Versallies took out.
