The reality is that he WAS a man. It's easy to portray the nazis, especially the leadership, as uncaring, unthinking monsters...but they were just people going through their lives.

Their lives just happened to be REALLY fricked up and involved truly horrifying consequences. But I think the demonization is just because it makes it easier for the rest of us to deal with it. Like...how could normal people do things like that? They must have been truly evil.

What would make a person think of them as "caring, thinking" monsters?

Yeah, but it involves genocide. Plus they hired monsters like Josef Mengele to implement their policies, so I do think most of the leadership of the Nazi party was evil.
