Not evil? Evil doesn't exist? Pssht, that is moral equivalism, which I do not subscribe to in the least. Hitler and many, many people were EVIL! They kill, murder, and rape. Calling them 'misguided' adds nothing but lack of comprehension as to their foul deeds. Hitler did try to take the Suez Canal and the Middle East. That was the purpose of the Afrika Korps. They failed, because the Brits, with our help, beat them. Hitler didn't even try to rescue the remnants, though he flew Rommel out. What Hitler failed to take into account was not the Russian winter or the 'stubbornness' of the Russian generals, was that his savage treatment of the Russian people roused them into frenzied resistance and astonishing feats like moving their factories deep into Russia where the Luftwaffe couldn't get to them. He also made the stupid blunder of declaring war on us after Pearl Harbor, freeing Roosevelt's hands to start open convoying and active U-boat hunting.
