He was a great speaker and a good manipulator, though he did not "control their minds" he just was very persuasive. He had his traits, and i agree he was pretty good at speaking and stuff, but he wasn't that smart, definetly not in military tactics. Trying to attack the Soviet Union in the middle of winter while on another front was one of the most stupid military maneuvers in history. He not only had no chance there because it was winter, but he had a small supply line and then exposed himself to 2 fronts. :shakes head: man, he needed strategists.

he had orgasms when he gave speeches and he liked having his niece shit on him during sex. the man was completely and utterly insane, some things he did showed intelligence but his stupidity far outweighs those acomplishments, however he was a very good manipulator...then again at that particular time you didn't need to say alot to get germany to want it's former glory back through whatever means, they really just needed a figure head...the events that followed were merely an avalanche of egomaniacal snow.
Edit: with all that oppinionated rambling i forgot to give criticism on the piece itself :lol:
anyways it's okay, very dodgy and crooked...too bad your comp tries to swallow it's tongue whenever you try to use the pen tool...for these kinds of pieces it's really usefull, using default brushes just won't cut it...unless you've got CRAZY skills with brushes.

some of the brightest mindes go crazy due to the enormous amounts of brain power that they have access. In some sences, hitler was a genius. in others, he over estimated him self, alot like nepolian in a way. any way, this is a graphics forum, not a discussion forum.
id say its pretty good for brushes, you really need to get that pen tool fixed.

My perspective: both of my granparents on my father's side were very much affected by the Holocaust, both of them being Polish Jews. My Grandfather was sent to Auschwitz/Birkenau and ended up surviving...that's a great story by the way...anyways, my Grandmother ended up staying in hiding until after the war was over and then making it onto the Exodus, only to be sent back to Europe when they got to Israel/Palestine.
However, you are correct. Hitler was a genius, and being a genius brings great responsibility, which Hitler obviously could not handle. So while may have been able to control a country hungry for victory because of the treaty of Versailles, and other complications from WW1, and he did conquer nearly all of Europe, a feat nearly matching Alexander the Great's conquests. However, Hitler did not understand simple things such as compassion and tolerance, and because of that he abused his genius. In the end Hitler became too arrogant and made the mistake that Napoleoin made so long ago: he attacked Russia...in the Winter no less! And to add to this he was stillfighting a war on his Western front! So while Hitler was a genius, he was severly lacking in parts of his mental faculties. He got too caught up in the lies he knowingly concocted and began to actually believe that he could not be stopped. No point in being a genuis if you can't take care of yourself.
