I had a discussion yesterday with Friend of the Brink Travis, who informed me that Adolf Hitler was Time magazine's Man of the Year before World War II. I was incredulous, so I had to track it down, and it seems that Adolf was the Man in 1938.
However, it seems that the Man of the Year was given in respect of Hitler's ascension to power and subsequent importance in Europe, but certainly not as glowing praise. Hitler was viewed with deep suspicion and was viewed as a monster on the rise. Time devoted most of the article to a recap of recent events in Germany and on the world stage, and closed with this ominous and prescient quote:
To those who watched the closing events of the year it seemed more than probable that the Man of 1938 may make 1939 a year to be remembered.click the headline above to read the Time cover story...

Man of the year isn't an honor. It is chosen based on who "for better or for worse, ...has done the most to influence the events of the year."
Thanks, Lanny. And that explains the logic in giving it to Hitler.
Well, I warn you. There is alot more to this then your consciousness wants to admit. Grandfather Bush, yeah G.W Bush grandfather funded Hitler through the Union Banking Corporation. Google it.
And maybe you should research the "Tomb" of Scull and Bones at Yale University.
Peace.
