Hitler was Worse than Stalin

"Jews are real Germans. Homosexuals were real Germans. Disabled people were real Germans". In Hitler's mind, this is not the case. It's almost as if saying Russians are real Australians. It is all down to a matter of perception. As we know, Hitler believed the perfect and pure German had only German bloodline and Genes. "These numbers don't include the soldiers killed in combat during WWII.... However numbers alone don't explain who was worse" As Stalin once said, "one death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic". Also, Stalin's attitude in the war was carelessness and recklessness and bad leadership. The Soviet's did not plan effectively on tactics, and lost millions of soldiers. Stalin's policy on "no retreat" is not courageous, it is plain carelessness of his soldiers, and sending them to fight without weapons, knowing that they will die, shows just how immoral and inhumane Stalin was. This high casualty rate is Stalin's fault, as he had purged the great army leaders because of "his paranoia". Shouldn't a good leader put personal aside and focus on protecting his country and his people. Although Hitler killed many Jewish, Polish or any ethnicity he did not like for personal reasons, he did look after his favored people and cultures, and did not let them starve to death with famine like Stalin did. "Because he considered them (disable people) to be useless." I do not want to sound immoral or to sound like a monster, but what use does a disabled person have in society, especially during Hitler and Stalin's era; a time of hard labor and a hard life. Nowadays, we have workers to support disabled people, to give them a chance, but back then, a disabled person was a burden on society, and Hitler recognized this. You can't send a disabled person to fight a war, to work in the factories, to work in the fields or to work in general. Hitler, during his time, was reasonably justified in the removal of disabled people. "Hitler took power by destroying all opposition." I agree with this, but Stalin took the meaning "destroy all opposition" to a new level, essentially removing majority of opposition, and removing much of his own party. Hitler did remove opposition to come to power, but he did it legally by bending the rules and manipulating the system, as well as gaining majority of the support, even though it was through propaganda. Stalin, on the other hand, removed much opposition through the purges, with murder and imprisonment. "Because he was paranoid and feared betrayal." Does this not make Stalin insane, to kill people because he 'feared' betrayal. Hitler feared betrayal, but only purged when he was betrayed. As seen with the night of the long knives, the purging of the corrupt politicians and prominent figures. Stalin, in contrast, killed innocent people because of his 'fear' of betrayal, as seen with the forced famine in Ukraine, where he killed millions of innocent people because he believed that they will rise against him. Yes, Hitler did millions of innocent people also, but not because he feared betrayal, he wanted a better and purer Germany, he wanted the best for "his people". "Stalin's collectivization starved millions of people... Stalin believed that in order to make the USSR industrialized and powerful, he needed to take food grown by peasant farmers and sell it in cities." Yes, true, he did starve millions of his own people, his own working class, though forced collectivization. Stalin had a choice, focus on Russia's working class and its agriculture, or to further industrialize Russia. Stalin sold goods not only to the cities, but overseas, fueling the industrial effort, whilst starving the working class. Hitler, balanced the collectivization of agriculture and industrialization. Satisfying the economy, and bringing Germany out of an enormous economic and social depression, and turning it into a strong, patriotic nation, giving the German citizens a good life and new hope after the devastating effects of the Treaty of Versailles and the great depression in Germany. Hitler did good for his people, and revived Germany, whilst satisfying the Treaty of Versailles, and building Germany into an economic superpower. Stalin, let his people starve to death, and turned the once great Russia, into a social, political and economic mess; despite his propaganda efforts. "Soldiers had to pick up the weapons of other soldiers who had already died." Russia lost millions of soldiers, men lost friends, if the effect of the war isn't bad enough, Stalin's bad leadership forced people to pick up their dead comrades weapon, from their dead body; and realize, that he is also going to die. They were mentally scarred, and had no will to fight, but could not turn back, because their mother Russia was not a friend, it was another enemy, ready to kill them if they turned back. "However is attempting to defeat the Germans a crime?" Good point, it is all in the spirit of war. But, if a leader does not have good tactics, not enough weapons and not enough supplies to fuel the war effort, then isn't the right choice to save the lives of millions of men, who have families and friends, instead of carelessly sending them to fight without supplies and weapons, knowing that they will die. When Hitler realized he had lost the war, he had ordered the Germans to stop fighting, to prevent more loss of life, and to protect civilians. Doesn't this make Hitler better than Stalin, the fact that Hitler still had some value of human life, and was willing to demolish his pride for the better of the German soldiers and citizens, compared to Stalin valuing his fabricated pride, and sending millions of soldiers to their death, to take Germany, without a care for his own people. "There were many Jews that were "Hitler's own people". No, the Jewish were not Hitler's people. "They did not try to overthrow or undermine Hitler. But they were still eliminated." Stalin did the same, but with his own people.
