Hitler took over and Dimentio is trying to free us, that's what happened.

Lmao his strategy was not bad, it was probably one of the most effective armies out. I believe hitler truly could of won WWII if it wasn't for a couple of major stuff ups, he was generations ahead of his competition military wise (U-Boats for example).

Hitler was not a good leader, towards the end of his reign he started to make stupid decisions (I feel Stalingrad was a big one) even while his high ranking army officials were telling him not to do it.

strategy != tactics

Look back at Stalingrad, Operation Barbarossa as a whole, his application of Russian tactics on the African front, forcing an early two-front war, and not learning from conditions in Napoleon's invasions of Russia in the past and tell me his strategy wasn't bad. Even if he stalled Barbarossa until England was dealt with, it's hard to say if it would have any prevalent effect on the war's outcome, but it doesn't take away from the fact that his strategy was terrible as a result of his desparation near the tailend of the war and he was fighting a losing war from day one.  

Leaders require several traits to be considered a leader. A perfect leader has all of those traits, but a good one only needs some. Here are the traits that make a good leader:

Spoiler

Kindness

Understanding

Modesty (not too much)

Confidence

The right mindset (they need to be wired differently, however it needs to be a specific way, the wrong way makes a tyrant or dictator)

Strength

The ability to admit to his/her weaknesses

Sympathy and Empathy

Common sense

Wisdom

Enthusiasm

Humor

Agreeability

Acceptance

Diverse background (it's someones experiences in life that make them a good or bad man, nurture over nature is what I think)

Good Memory

Reasonability

Observant

At least one unique belief

Multiple skills

Motivation

Integrity

Moral balance

Peaceful

Calm

That is my opinion on a good leader. I will repeat what I last said, a PERFECT leader has all of those qualities, a great leader only needs some.

For your project, if its not yet done already, you can take any one of those.

Stop saying "from day 1" no one knows what would of happened if he didn't start the 2 front war.
