Was Adolf Hitler A Psychopath Or Evil Genius?

Psychopath or Evil Genius? Every person has their own opinion on Adolf Hitler, but some do believe he was a good man. He did very terrible things that didn’t even need to be done, and ruined many lives. I have always wondered what could lead Adolf Hitler to want to do such terrible things to such innocent people and destroy so many lives. Only serial killers could find joy in killing a person because it gives them a rush. Once they feel that rush they want to feel it again and again. That’s what leads them to keep going and doing it over and over. Hitler’s mind was like a serial killers mind. He was so okay with going into other countries and destroying them and killing whoever came in his way. What does that have anything to do with the Jews? They were simple people just living their lives and he needed a target to make his campaign stronger. A Psychopath would kill 6 million Jews to make sure they can have what they …show more content…

He could not do it alone and searched for help. That’s when the Nazis came into play, they loved everything he was saying about making Germany into a better country and by placing that target of the Jews that made it even more easier for him. They tried taking the government over by force and that did not work. Next Hitler ran for chancellor and he got it! He was such a good manipulator with his speaking that not to many peopled understood what he really wanted to do. They just wanted to have a better situation for their country and Hitler knew that. He knew he had to get rid of some rules and he slowly did it to the point he finally had full control. Once he was everything started going downhill. We all know how he captured most of the Jews and would kill them just to get them out. Who in their right mind would be so okay to have so many murders on their hands? A Psychopath or a serial killer would. {Search for information of serial killers and their

    If Hitler and the Germans weren’t so concerned about killing the Jewish people, why would they kill? millions of them for no reason? The evidence shows “Nazi racial doctrine defined Jews as ‘race defilers’ who schemed to destroy the Master race through intermarriage and seduction” (Judge and Langdon, Connection A World History, 793). This idea was obviously just an excuse to the Germans; the German leader hypnotized them all. They went through ridiculous, unnecessary actions, just so they can kill innocent people.

  • The Brilliant and Evil Hitler

    Hitler was both brilliant and evil. He won the following of nearly all German people, and brought a desperate country out of poverty and post-war dissolution. It was not by virtue that Hitler accomplished these things. Instead, it was through evil planning, mass rallies, emotional appeal to a vulnerable population, stirring military displays, and the eventual extermination of millions of innocent people: Jews (anyone with one or more Jewish grandparent), Communists, Negroes, the mentally ill, and anyone else in his way. He called his plan to rid the world of "inferior" human beings the "Final Solution." Hitler had a brilliant mind. He brought Germany out of post-war depression and create jobs, comradere, and a better economy, yet he was very evil. He used his power, coersion, and manipulation to convince Germans to committ unthinkable atrocites against millions of innocent people.

    In 1919 the Weimar Republic was established. The Germans were used to a strong autocratic regime and here they had to deal with a fractionalized democratic Reichstag with many parties: Communists, Socialist and Rightist and live under a constant threat of a communist revolution. In this unstable chaotic situation Hitler used his strong nationalistic convictions and oratory skills to the fullest.

    In the Summer of 1941, Adolf Hitler started exterminating Jews and other non-Aryans, as a part of his plan to create a perfect Germany and to carry out his ‘Final Solution’ to the ‘Jewish Question’. Before exterminating 6,000,000 Jewish people, Adolf Hitler had already performed several actions which singled out the Jew as an evil person and one who should be killed. In 1923, Hitler was caught while trying to overturn the Bavarian government and was imprisoned for 5 years. In prison, he wrote the famed autobiography, Mein Kampf, in which he stated his first publicly known anti-Semitic beliefs and his ‘Final Solution’ to the ‘Jewish Question’. While imprisoned, there was a worldwide depression as economic markets crashed worldwide. This would help Hitler because once out of prison he would use this to help gain power both for the Nazi’s and for himself politically by promising better things to come in the future. In 1933, while preaching in front of a large Nazi crowd, Hitler used the Jews as scapegoats for Germany’s loss in World War One. “If at the beginning of the War and during the War twelve or fifteen thousand of these Hebrew corrupters of the people had been held under poison gas, as happened to hundreds of thousands of our very best German workers in the field, the sacrifice of millions at the front would not have been in vain.'; Many people were upset at the loss, and blaming the Jews made many people anti-Semites. Once he was named chancellor in 1933, Hitler preached about creating a Germany for true German people and a more centralized Germany. This included eliminating those who were non-Aryans and/or non-German. He would later detail about what a true German was in the Nuremberg Laws. He stated that Jews were not really Germans but instead, they were non-Aryan, and they were malignant tumors.

  • Adolf Hitler And The Holocaust

    683 Words  | 2 Pages

    Hitler’s plans for Germany were both meaningless and cruel. His first goal was to establish what he thought was the ‘supreme’ race, Aryan. Aryan people are tall and skinny, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and light skin (FYI: Hitler had none of these characteristics, and rumor has it that his grandmother was Jewish.). Every other person was not considered human to him, especially Jewish people. Hitler hated Jewish people the most because he thought that because of their beliefs and living style they lost World War I. Also according to Hitler, Jews were maggots, parasites, vampire spiders sucking blood, and vermin. Hitler thought it was not enough to only eliminate the ‘enemies’ of the Aryan race, but they also needed space to live. This is when his second goal came into play. He started relocating them, starving them, shutting down their shops and many more things. The worst part was that he lied to them when he said they were relocating them, he was really taking them to concentration camps.

    Hitler began his political career at a time in Germany when the country was on its last legs. The country was crippled by the war debt from World War One. He redefined the public opinion of good over the course of his term by making the Jewish populace, scapegoats for the source of the country's woes as well as the root of the negative. Ethics is fueled by evil to the point that it is hard to believe that it does not take silent enjoyment in surveying the desolation from afar. This creates a morbid sense of deception, halfway between enjoyment and trepidation.
