To call Hitler’s war effort a path of destruction is to ignore how methodically he built power. He rearmed Germany while Europe hesitated. He forged alliances. He annexed territory without firing a shot. His military victories in Poland, France, and the early Eastern Front were not accidents. They were calculated. Blitzkrieg was not chaos. It was military innovation.
Operation Barbarossa remains the largest military invasion in history. It was not launched by a man bent on self-destruction. It was designed to secure living space in the East. This was not improvisation. It was laid out in his early writings. The goal was a racially purified empire stretching from the Atlantic to the Urals.
Even the most horrific aspects of the regime were executed with structure. The Final Solution was not spontaneous. It was implemented through bureaucracy, meetings, and logistical coordination. That is not the behavior of a man trying to destroy everything. It is the behavior of someone attempting to build a twisted version of civilization.
Yes, his ideology was warped. But the mechanics behind it were systematic. You do not nearly conquer a continent without planning. Strategy, not self-destruction, drove his rise. His fall came only after the plan failed, not because it was never real.
