The purpose for the Germans learning all of these "good" things about Hitler, was to have all of Germany think that Hitler was a good man and that he had good ideas and that he would lead the country in to great victory. Little did they know, he said all the things that they wanted to hear, but later on he turned his words around and turned all what he said into bad things. Because of his evil work he caused World War Two.
