Best Answer

One of the indicators of genocide and of war crimes is when civilians are targeted - this is not to say that other nations did not target civilians, just that as Germany lost the war, they would be tried for war crimes. Germany then specifically targeted women and children, an indication of a desire to destroy a group or set of people.

Why is Hitler such an appalling figure in the world's history?

Adolf Hitler is considered an appalling figure in history due to his responsible for the Holocaust, where six million Jews were systematically murdered, along with the persecution and genocide of millions of others. Hitler's aggressive expansionist policies, his disregard for human rights, and his racist ideology contributed to the death and suffering of millions during World War II.
