Well, Hitler would no doubt take disarmed Europe with ease, except for maybe Switzerland.

Hitler could have taken Switzerland easily if he had used French troops. (Aimed at Spain, of course.)

Stalin of course.

Hitler wouldn't get elected today. But Russia still likes the man-of-steel image, and would vote for him today.
Anyway, Hitler was a racist. Stalin wasn't racist. He would kill anyone.

Non-fascist Europe was a lot better armed than Hitler was in 1939, his military however knew what it was doing. On 1 to 1 basis democratic societies don't product very good soldiers as on the whole they tend to value their own lives, their comrades lives and even to some extent their enemies. Fascist militaristic regimes don't tend to have such scruples

I didn't say he wasn't manly.
But if he wasn't head of a country and was at the pub, you wouldn't ever be threatened to pick a fight with him. He doesn't look threatening. More charismatic, humorous, and outgoing.
