What if Hitler invented the BMW i3 Subcompact Electric car?
I feel like his legacy is really overshadowed by the whole killing the Jews thing but surely he did have some good ideas? I'm not sure though, can anyone point me to some not bad opinions that Hitler had?

I just want to go on record for saying the Jew murder stuff was not cool so no suggesting that was a good idea, you should not murder Jews.

I'm just saying we all make mistakes and maybe he had some cool ideas that didn't involve Jew murder.

Nazis had a solid sense of fashion, those uniforms were cool. Not sure if that can be attributed to him though.

If not to him directly, then to the people he surrounded himself with. That's a sign of a truly great leader.

Other good ideas: trains running on time, the autobahn, hating commies
Not so good: VW Beetle, the Jews thing.

You know, I'd be less worried about my 16 year old daughter dating a successful 40 year old cartoonist than dating a 16 year old loser.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.
After watching Triumph of the Will I've concluded that he was the master of the pep rally. Nobody did pep rally's better.

I remember reading a hitler bio in high school and there was an incident where he was lurking behind some dude and the guy went right up to him and asked "did somebody poo poo in your skull and forget to flush?"

Hitler got pwnd in that exchange.

I'm looking for specific good ideas that Hitler had, I mean people make such a big deal about the Jew thing but most people aren't 100% good or 100% bad, surely the legacy Hitler is more nuanced than he killed a bunch of Jews.

he wanted to move away from the mindless chaos of the AD&D 2nd edition system, and created a streamlined system not unlike GURPS.

Hitler's paintings were a unique blend of realism and nostalgia. They created a sense of place that overflowed with passion and the simple pleasures of life. It is hard to look at his art and not be caught up in the yearning he had for a time that was timeless. The rest of his career pales in comparison to the impact he made on the art world in his Vienna years from 1908-1913.

He put billions into developing rocket technology which gave the space race a jump start, but that one also involved lots of Jew murder so it's kind of a wash.

Hitler was very anti-smoking and some of the first research that showed that smoking was unhealthy was done in Nazi Germany.

Unsurprisingly, it was ignored for years.
