Yes, to his own non-Jewish people. The town was in poverty, had a lack of food and was regarded, at the time, as one of the worst cities in the town. The people were very poor, and on Himmler's birthday they handed out free radios.
But was he good for Germany? Yes and no. He seemed to be good, treat his people nice and when the war started he was doing good by 1942, managing to conquer many countries and France fell very quickly. But then everything went downhill, and Germany got their army size decreased. So mostly yes, but also no in my opinion.
