It has been remarked that if Adolf Hitler had died in 1938, he would have been the greatest statesman in the history of Germany. He rallied Germany from economic devastation and humiliation as a result of the terms of the Treaty of Versaille. The treaty declared that Germany was to blame for WWI. This was not true, but since the Allies were looking for a way to receive financial reparations for their war debts, and the Germans had deep pockets, it was a convenient lie. The German economy was devastated by the large payments required and created hyperinflation. Germany eventually defaulted on their reparations. The British stock exchange crashed the following day. The next business day, "Black Monday," October 29, 1929, the American market crashed and marked the beginning of the Great Depression. Hitler and the Nazi party provided a sense of national pride to the German people. Of course, Hitler went on to destroy the continent with war, but at first, he was an inspirational national leader. During this period and through the war, he and his party's treatment of the Jews and his political opponents which was brutal and reprehensible.

Adolf Hitler, ironically, is often recognized as the greatest public speaker of the 20th century. His speaking style is widely studied for its stirring delivery style. The content of his speeches are not applauded, but he was a soaring orator.
