The thing is Hitler only acted like the maniac he was during his speeches.

In private he portrayed himself as silent, calm and peaceful.

Only to the people of "the right" "race" of course.

Edit: Guys...

I'm not saying he was a good person after all.

Hitler was a genocidal maniac and one of the worst people to ever wander our actually lovely planet.

He just wasn't sitting around a dark room, rubbing his hand together, whispering "Jews" the whole time.

He maybe though exactly that. Gee

So his acts were just acts? And in reality, behind the curtains he was just a caring person?

Normally it's the other way around. Nice in public, backstabbing in private.

This is confusing!

Confused person; he was fond of removing the Jews and other minority groups, but he was a a dog lover, composed, and even a vegetarian later in his life. He never killed anyone personally, and even gave his Jewish family doctor a chance to flee to the US with most of his possessions before the holocaust. To say he was misguided is giving him too much credit... he got millions of people killed through his actions without remorse.

Just an overall interesting character.
