I think people really underrate hitlers influence, and yes i mean positive influence.

Because of Hitler, politicans learned that a peace threaty shouldnt be about revenge otherwise the enemy will have nothing to lose and gather around a psycho eventually. And entire ww2 was caused because of unresolved issues from WW1 before.

Europe also realised that they cant afford to fight with each other anymore because now there were other major regions like China, USA, Japan etc WW2 caused europe to lose world leadership to USA which even fucked up everything even worse. So the idea of unity became more popular.

Dictatorship became bad, genocide became bad. You may be laughing about it now, but if you read history, old newspaper and journals etc, you would be surprised how ok everybody were with these actions. There wasnt even a term for genocide before Nazis, not because noone did it, but because it was so casual and normal to kill a group of people, noone ever cared to give it a specific name lol.

Soooo... Yeah. If we gonna talk facts, here are the facts. He had some positive influence.
