Why do so many people keep saying Hitler? Trying to be funny are we?

@Ultima, actually I nearly put Leibniz in instead of Goethe. It's weird how few people have heard of him considering how talented he was.

@JUG. Not trying to be funny.

You said great, not good. He was an horrendous man, however he also fits your criteria extremely well.

Achievements - Conquered most of Europe, committed a genocide (not all achievements are good)
Influence - Influence in his time was huge, for a short period of time would have to be considered the most powerful man in the world.
Renown - His name is synonymous with evil in the modern world, very very well known.
Exceptional talent - A true political genius
Excellence in a particular field/across fields - Same as above?
Lasting legacy - While he didn't build his thousand year Reich his war did certainly leave a lasting mark on the world, it led to the cold-war, was deeply imprinted on Jewish identity and bankrupt Britain. There are still a rather large group of people who follow him (neo-Nazi's)


A great man doesn't have to be a good man, somebody can do great evil as well as great good.
