I ws talking to my 24 year old Romanian roommate (I am 61 year old Canadian) and he was telling me that Germany was much better off today because of Hitler. Well as you can guess I begged to defer.

Sorry, this floors me. Better in relation to what? A mythical world where WWII never happens and somehow because of that everything is worse?

I mean, I've certainly seen that there is a very pro Hitler movement in eastern Europe these days, but I was under the impression that like the Nazi party in America it was tiny group of nutjobs.
