He ordered the wholesale murder - the extermination - of over ten million people. Jews, Romani, Polish and Russian civilians, prisoners of war, people with disabilities, other political and religious opponents. The rise of the Nazis and the Second World War would likely have happened without Hitler, but he bears personal responsibility for the horrifying scale of the Holocaust. You're not European and I'm guessing you've never seen the death camps or spoken to survivors, so maybe you don't understand what you "admire".
One of the most profoundly disturbing things I have ever seen is the admissions book at Ravensbrück concentration camp. Tens of thousands of names. Most of them were killed. And Ravensbrück was just one camp, and a labour camp, not an organised extermination camp.
I hope you don't understand, and I hope some day you stand at the gates to Auschwitz and you do understand, and learn the lesson: this is what humanity can do to itself, driven by hatred and fear and a push from a man like Hitler.
Never again.
