Although I completely disagree and I do believe Hitler was a bad man, a very bad man, infact I would call him evil...
Anyways was Hitler a bad man?
Morality is relative, and according to the consensus, Hitler would be a very bad dude. Maybe in a thousand years, he will be looked as a hero. Look at Genghis Khan, he terrorized Europe, but today, he is quite revered. Similarly, slavery was a desirable thing. The Greeks had slaves, so did the Romans and the Western world had them until the 19th century. But now that's considered evil. Morality is a work in progress.
