Misch is absolutely right. People make Hitler out to be the embodiment of pure evil and some sort of boogeyman, when in reality I've heard he was a pretty charming and genial guy to be around in a social setting. And that's what's kind of scary. He was normal man whose actions created untold suffering for millions of people all over the world. To call him a monster is to make him out to be more than what he was. Just a man.
