You just came off a three-day ban for flamebaiting, and one of the first things you do is trolling? Clearly the lesson about following the rules hasn't quite taken yet.

Given your user history and the fact you just came back from a ban, the next step is a *** 7 day ban for trolling. *** I strongly urge you to consider your behavior on this site, as you're skating on increasingly thin ice.

There's no doubt he suffered from stress disorder or severe depression by 1944, but to call him insane seems like it would do more harm to using him as an example of the wrong things to do when you have the kind of power he held on the world stage. It gives an excuse for his behavior, however inadvertent. "Oh, he was insane so you can't expect better of him!"

I never called Hitler insane.

There are good kinds and bad kinds of insane. Clearly he was the bad kind. It did not have to be so. He was nutty enough to want to be an artist. That's a good start, but something clearly went wrong. I suspect he needed to be tackled into mud more often than he was.

Started of an OK guy. Had a few rascist tendencies. Then he got a bit of power, as he gained more he went more and more insane. Then we went completely insane and had his best field marshal commit suicide.

Don't forget that in that era, racism was the norm, not the exception.

Hitler being racist is irrelevant when studying his mental health.

Let's see... the guy hated Jews with a passion, saw himself as a great commander (when he wasn't), and he ordered the execution of many a general and officer and his brutal actions caused the suicides of some of Germany's best Generals.

So yeah, there's no doubt the guy was a mental case.

This is a record. The first thread on Hitler's sanity without a Downfall clip.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

He didn't cause there suicides. He ordered them to commit suicide and be treated as the hero that they were or be executed and be denounced as traitors.

^This. I find it rather silly to say he was insane it is just another way for other humans to distance themselves from the Nazi regime. Contrary to popular opinion it was made up of perfectly normal people and that is the disturbing part.
