Did Hitler get it right?

The last seven decades one of the most prominent but subtle question that humanity has stumbled upon I believe is  'Did Hitler get it right'. The beauty of this question lies in the way it is perceived - not in the answers it generates. The sheer reason for the same is the relatively more number of perspectives to this question than the answers.


The above derives from the fact that Hitler is seen (and I believe) is an embodiment of a number of things. He is and is seen by many as someone who was bold to follow his dreams with the utmost selfish charter one can have, whilst there is a different group, which sees him as the greatest lover of mankind (the ones who believe in Aryan supremacy and Aryans as the only genre in mankind while others who believe Germans hold that stature). While this group may be political there is a different group with a social premise: who believe imperialism is a step in evolution that spans millions of years and lesser understood by the so-called human cognizance.

However, coming back to my broader question - Did Hitler get it right? - the answer lies in a different question - what is it that he chased?

Detractors are the ones most people would be keen to watch. Though difficult if someone (atleast in the world around me) does anything that detracts the traditional/day to day approach in the way the masses are used to approach/approve anything that in reality is not alignment with ones personal attribute, the acceptance and interest it generates is substantial.

This makes one ponder - what if someone took a Hitler route and detract substantially, rather follow a new approach which may not be right by the current premises/norms. This by design is bound to make heads turn and give one a visibility but not an acceptability which many crave for.

But essentially one gets it right  - if and only if he feels he is most right. However the world feels he got it right only if it followed over time when he took the first leap. Else the detraction isn't perceived as sustainable- as with Hitler where it is not and Gandhi where it.

This kind of gives a direction to my answer if not the answer itself - Hitler got it right only if he thinks he did and only if he was always uncomfortable and finally found a comfort when the whole world was amazed/confused..and he was riding with utmost clarity....
