    The criteria for Time's Man of the Year is the man who had the most influence on news that year. Nothing about it being an influence for good.

    By looking at the list, I would like to believe that is true. This is the caption for Hitler: "His figure strode over Europe with all the swagger of a conqueror".

    Also, keep in mind that in 1938 that the Nazi party and Hitler were fairly new, and were not yet seen as that bad. Germany's economy was just coming out of the sewer. In 1938, Hitler introduced the world to the Volkswagon Beetle, the most popular car in the world, and one that went without major redesign for many years. It was not until the end of 38 that Hitler started doing what he is known for today.
