I will admit that he had his moments, but whether that was by design or pure luck which was exploited by some good generals, but at the same time both he and Goering had some humongous clangers which cost them dearly. Dunkirk comes to mind, however that equally could have been a diplomatic move, but suffice to say that we can both agree on Hitlers mental deterioration as the war continued.
As a politician, his tactics were quite sound, I think we can agree on that, his use of propaganda and violence to achieve power, playing off people against each other whilst he picked up the pieces, well, if he had been as stupid as some people think he wouldn't have been able to make himself Fuhrer, nor bend the German armies loyalty toward him.
However, in his viewpoint towards the world, he was sorely deluded.
