No, that's okay.
You are calling Hitler a racist.
I do not think you will offend an awful lot of people with that stance.

Sometimes I just can't tell if something is offensive anymore.
I blame the Internet.

He was a fantastic leader as well.
Shame about the whole world dominance thing.
The National Socialist party was pretty fucked up without him, he was reflecting a larger movement, I think it is important to remember that, whilst his actions were evil, he was not 'An Evil Man TM' but just a man (a very personable and popular man) so that we can remember that the terrible activities of his regime were not caused just by a freak of evil, but could easily happen again with another charismatic leader and an unfortunate national feeling.
Also, his moustache was shite.

but to be fair to manley
he also said "he was a fantastic leader" (which is true, regrettable as it may be) and "the national socialist party was nothing without him" (which is arguable, but has a good argument backing it) -- so he wasn't just some guy. i think the point is that without hitler there'd have been someone else and roughly the same thing could very well have happened. maybe not the rampant anti-semitism, but the expansionism, the war-mongering, and ultimately a war that seemed inevitable to some even back in 1918 when versailles was signed. (and jews were unpopular across most of europe, so the anti-semitism may well have come up too.)

i agree with a lot of what you said there
demonising him means it's a lot easier to believe history won't repeat itself, when germany went to war they were the most advanced nation in the west

Absolutely and watch us do it again and again with Sadaam or Bin Laden or Simon Cowell.
The last one is only partly a joke, bandwagon jumping is what these people do.

That might have been much funnier
But I'm far too ignorant (and lazy) to have any grasp of a language other than English (and Scottish, now it's officially a language!).

Or a very subtle enemy whose help you shouldn't seek in direct cross cultural negotiations.
