Cmv: i believe that we all have a bit of hitler in us.:
We are all capable of the horrendous act that Hitler committed or fostered in his life. The right circumstances and societal influences could bring out the same in each of us.  I am definitely not supporting any of the atrocities he engaged in.  But there is historical perspective that could perhaps explain some of his attitudes.  The entire concept of eugenics fed right into his Aryan superiority complex.  And war is war.  People can justify all kinds of horrible things when in that mode.  Again, I am thoroughly disgusted by what he did, but I do not discount the possibility that I am capable of horrible things myself if I do not keep a focus on continually learning and growing and evolving in a compassionate and empathetic manner.
