For all his cruelty, some Bengalis regard Hitler as one of the founding fathers of mother India. Why? He disliked the English and their empire so much that he actually helped Subash Chandra Bose build up his Indian National Army. He returned captured Indian soldiers (mostly Gurkhas and Sikhs) who had been fighting on the side of the British, helping them expand their empire. This assistance helped Bose to eventually dishearten the British nation, causing it to pull out of India permanently.
