This is 1938 not 1933. One had to be intentionally blind not to see the evil Hitler has already done.

JFK's father, Joseph Kennedy, was a big Hitler enthusiast.

In fact, so much so that FDR had to withdraw him as US ambassador to Britain.

Avery Brundage of the US Olympic committee was another big Hitler enthusiast.

...Frederick Birchall, Berlin bureau chief for The New York Times, found “a new moderation” in the political atmosphere following Hitler’s rise to power...

...Birchall of the Times, in a March 12 radio broadcast from Berlin, reported that “German violence had been spent” and predicted that “prosperity and happiness” would soon prevail...

1936 not 1938, but still appalling.

LOL! Never mind he was Austrian.

If greatest is talking about influence, then the declaration isn't wrong. No German in history has had more impact on history than Hitler. Of course, his impact was entirely negative, as he is one of the most evil men who ever lived. But there is no denying that his life influenced the entire world.

Again, let me re-emphasize so that no one misses my point, the influence was entirely negative and evil but it was impact. I'm NOT praising Hitler. The world would have been a far better place had he never been born.

Maybe he thought it would help diversity if Germany and England got along better?
