content: That's one way of looking at it, but you're kind of ignoring that pretty much all of the destruction was caused by countries who declared war on Germany. You could argue that Germany forced the other countries to declare war, but again to completely ignore the war aspect is silly. It's especially silly since you also didn't include the astonishingly positive transformation Germany underwent before the war.  EDIT, some other things I noticed:   Within 10 years he transformed a modern country into two piles of rubbles [...] It took his nation 40 years to recover from his failures.  This seems to imply that the main/sole cause of the war was Hitler and that 100% of everything that happened after he died was only due to Hitler.  As a comparison, lets say that Soros lackeys manage to cause massive destruction in certain states. Would you say "Trump caused massive destruction in many states"?
