I thought Hitler was Time's POTY when he was still propelling Germany out of abject poverty, and before he, you know, started a war. Is my timing off here?

1936 was pre-Kristallnacht and Poland wasn't getting invaded yet, though conscription in Germany began in 1936. The Night of the Long Knives had already established Hitler and the Nazis as rather unpleasant people.
