"1) Hitler was evil (your postulate, but I agree)
2) Those who "wouldn't stand for it" were not evil (your postulate)
3) France stood for it
4) France was (still is?) evil"
That is very Aristotolian logic; ie flawed except when viewed from one side. I don't believe that an entire country of people can be "evil"... only individuals can. The French are not "evil". and they never were "evil". Rude? Yes. Arrogant? Definitely. Smelly? Most of the time. But evil? Hardly.
Hitler WAS a genius - insanity and genius very often go hand-in-hand. If Hitler wasn't a genius, he wouldn't have been able to rescue Germany from the edge of financial ruin, and he definitely wouldn't have gotten as far as he did in his campaign to make the Third Reich the next major world Empire.
