Preposterous. Hitler was no dummy, despite our collective disagreement with his motives and actions. 19th century? Hitler changed what at the time was considered modern warfare and the rest of the world had to adjust. Your conclusions aren't even wrong; they're ill informed and completely fictional.
What? To what degree, he made a try sure, but he committed suicide in a bunker. It still remains he bit off more than he could chew. The only advancements I would really would attribute to his effort was that he had jets but by the time he got them into production it was late in the war and it would have done no good. He never came close to the H bomb. Outside that his advancement through Europe were more because of those nations being weaker.
Now strategy bits and pieces maybe, but again, what matters in war is who is on top when the dust settles. He lost so he couldn't have been that smart. I really think is ego got the best of him and it lead him until it was too late, fortunately for the rest of the world.
