I think the other posters have covered the most important points.

Sure, Hitler brought Germany out of a crushing depression and runaway inflation, but the price was creating a worship cult with himself at the center and by scape-goating jews, Catholics, homosexuals, gypsies and anyone else he considered "undesirable".

That he killed many millions of people is undisputed, except by the diehard anti-semites, the only thing that has changed is the exact "millions", from 3 or 4 up to 10 million.

Much of those numbers come from documentation kept by the Nazi's themselves (they were meticulous about everything).

To me, arguing that the holocaust wasn't that bad is akin to arguing creationism: you can argue and argue, but at the end of the day, the facts just don't add up in your favor.

Actually, it's worse: because at least believing in Creationism doesn't ignore one of the worst horrors of the 20th century by turning a blind eye to it.
