    There is a young man. He has to be young because any learning has to start from a place of ignorance

    Then that young man ventures off into the unknown. He is immersed in chaos.

    Chaos nearly destroys him

    Then he undergoes some kind of transformation that makes him stronger.

    Then he confronts chaos, and restores order.
    Young man goes to war, almost gets killed, goes from being a shit artist to a powerful demagogue, confronts the chaos of post-war Germany, restores order.

    Only part missing is where it all kinda goes sour.

    You mean the part where he tries to create chaos instead of order....that's what evil does.

    Germany was much better ordered after Hitler than before, at least until WWII started.

    Right. The trains ran on time, credit Hitler for order. Fair enough.

    But then...he decided to spread chaos, and it was his undoing. That's what chaos does to people. People who embrace chaos are dangerous and evil. And almost always destroy themselves, but usually take a lot of innocent people with them. It's true for Hitler, it's true for school shooters.
