Adolf Hitler had ‘some good ideas’, a fifth of Gen Z Americans believe according to Daily Mail poll

Adolf Hitler’s reign of terror led to the murder of six million Jews during the Holocaust and the darkest moments in history.

There is little debate that the Nazi dictator is one of the most evil men who ever lived, with unprecedented depravity towards people he deemed unworthy to live under the Third Reich.

About 85 million people died during World War II, a devastating and bloody conflict fueled by his ruthless pursuit of global empire.

Yet, 79 years after he committed suicide in a Berlin bunker, more than one in ten (11 percent) Americans believe the barbaric German tyrant leader had “good ideas.”

A DailyMail.com/JL Partners poll found that more than one in five (21 percent) of both Gen Z and Black voters and 19 percent of Hispanic voters agreed with the statement.

The survey asked 1,000 likely voters whether they thought Hitler had “good ideas” or whether he was “evil and had no redeeming qualities.”

77 percent said he was “bad,” 12 said they were “insecure” and a surprising 11 percent believed he had some redeeming qualities.

Broken down by age group, 21 percent of voters under 29 said Hitler had good ideas, compared with 16 percent of voters between 30 and 49, seven percent of voters between 50 and 64 and just five percent of voters voters between 50 and 64 years old. over 65.

Fourteen percent of Donald Trump’s supporters said Hitler had some positive aspects, compared to nine percent of Kamala Harris.

“If you needed an example of the corrosive impact social media can have on younger Americans’ view of the world, this is it,” James Johnson, founder of JL Partners, told DailyMail.com of the surprising results.

The poll results appear to be part of a surprising trend of Gen Z becoming more sympathetic to some of history’s most evil individuals.

Earlier this month, TikTok was forced to remove AI-generated and translated videos of Hitler’s speeches, which had been viewed more than a million times.

In a heavily edited segment, Hitler suggested he didn’t want to see World War II and essentially attacked when he had no choice.

Although the cause of the conflict has been debated for decades, it was Hitler’s invasion of Poland in 1939 that led Britain and France to declare war on Germany.

The TikTok clip has also been translated to mean that the Führer wanted to protect the lives of women and children.

In reality, 1.5 million Jewish children were killed during the Holocaust. Tens of thousands of Roma (Gypsy) children and as many as 7,000 German young people with physical and mental disabilities were also among those murdered.

One comment on a video that has been viewed 270,000 times said: ‘AH was a good and kind man… this changed my opinion of him.’

One account with 20,000 followers found by Media Matters had four million views on twelve videos of Hitler speeches.

“Growing up means realizing who the bad guy really was,” reads one of the messages surrounding a sketch of Hitler.

The poll also raises the question of whether children and younger Americans are being taught the full extent of Hitler’s systematic attempt to destroy the Jewish population.

A Pew Research survey 2020 found that while half of American adults knew what the Holocaust was and when it occurred, less than 50 percent could answer how many Jews were murdered and when Hitler came to power.

In December, DailyMail.com found that one in five young Americans had a positive view of 9/11 mastermind and Al Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden.

The alarming survey also found that three in 10 Gen Z voters believe the views of the anti-Semitic terrorist leader who slaughtered thousands of innocent people were a “force for good.”

Relatives of the 9/11 victims said at the time that the findings were “horrific.”

A month earlier, anti-Israel TikTok users sent bin Laden’s 2002 “Letter to America” ​​with its justification for September 11 going viral.

Some users said their “eyes were opened” and supported his claim that the attacks were in retaliation for US support for Israel.

In the letter, he also accused the US government of spreading AIDS around the world and described homosexuality as “immoral.”

Another DailyMail.com poll from October 2023 found that one in 10 voters under the age of 30 had a favorable view of Hamas, despite the group’s murderous attack on Israel that killed more than 1,300 men, women and children.
