I'm pretty sure you're trolling but, Hitler took advantage of a weakened Germany after everything in WW1. When someone is weak, that's what you do. He was an opportunist, a cunning one at that. Nothing he did was bold or bright, things just fell into place after little to no effort on his part.

And Hitler did not make Germany a superpower. He only had maybe 3 or 4 good years of a run before whatever so-called "brilliance" he had on the field of war, ran right out and plummeted Germany's reputation and impression on the globe with it.
