Aside from the atrocities, Hitler has also done several good things for the country and the nation. Which of course, by no means excuse the atrocities in any capacity, but I think they’re worth mentioning for additional context.
In thay sense, Trump is way worse as he’s yet to do a single beneficial thing for anyone other than himself and his oligarchs.
Well, Hitler’s policies led to the Autobahn which was the genesis of modern highway systems, and depending on how far you want to stretch the definition of “good” he also gave the orders that ultimately resulted in the design and production of the Volkswagen Beetle. Allegedly, his comments even inspired its shape.
…Mind you, he funded his initial war manufacturing effort by literally scamming his own citizens out of their preorder payments for said cars, ultimately delivering zero of them to any of the people who paid for them (I wonder if this reminds me of anyone else we can think of) but the things ultimately did make it onto the market after the war.
He also managed to more or less stabilize the German economy in the chaotic years following the first world war, although once again he did it largely by putting everyone to work building weapons and equipment which he shortly used to murder millions of people. The standard of living for select Germans and those in specific occupations did briefly but noticeably increase under Hitler’s watch until, you know, the whole genocide and Allied armies showing up on their doorstep thing.
“Now, there’s one thing you might have noticed I don’t complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders." -George Carlin
You’re giving him way too much credit.

I want to see you dig yourself a hole. What are some of the several good things for the country and nation he did?

Trumps niece, Mary Trump, always says he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
To be fair, Trump would be nearly as effective as he is if he weren’t surrounded by a swarm of people who also have no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Let’s also not let the body politic who put him there off the hook either; redeeming qualities pretty rarefied among them too.
How about the redeeming qualities of his opponents? Are they both legion in number and high in quality? No?
In fact, a disturbingly large number of your country is irredeemable, or very nearly so. A basket of deplorables, if you will.
