I am doing a speech on the positive and negative effects Hitler has made on the 20th century, which include short term and long term
Of course there is - massive amounts of death

This is a very difficult and controversial area.
We are not ready as a society for a 'What did Hitler ever do for us' approach to the Third Reich.
The problem is that racists and right-wing politicians are posing as sincere 'revisionists' attempting to revisit that period of history objectively. They are using it as a cover to peddle their ideology.
So be careful not to stray into apologetics, and certainly not into holocaust-denial.
However, we have tentatively begun to look at this subject on the forum, on this thread, which should give you some ideas.
Also, remember that a lot of good came from Hitler negatively; he utterly discredited some things which were accepted (and even acceptable) in the 1930s - racism, eugenics, anti-semitism, fascism etc.
