"I see good things about Hitler.  They [the Nazis] did good things too. Every human being has value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler. We've got to stop dissing the Nazis all the time."

Ok the first half I agree with, they did some good things. Then he went off the rails, stop dissing Nazis? To say the handful of good things they contributed is overshadowed by the bad would be a massive understatement.

I see the normalization of the phrase "But he went too far" as very insidious.

Before getting involved in politics he was a painter and wanted to become an architect. As an EE do you like throwing electronics into dumpster?

The reason for the original question was the list of 158 French victories over various German armies during the Napoleonic Wars (e.g., Austerlitz).

I'm not really sure that matters. I would not destroy art or architecture just because it was made by or to honor someone I did not particularly like, especially if I found it aesthetically pleasing. The nazis had an appreciation for classical artwork, they looted large quantities of it from countries they invaded.
