In your view were Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, and the rest of the Nazis "Intelligent " People?.
The one's tried at Nuremburg had to undergo IQ tests - the least intelligent one was Streicher, with 106, so no idiot. They weren't stupid. Evil, yes, deluded, yes, stupid, no.
That for me is where the deluded part comes in.I don't know. I think I'd call anyone who starts a war that costs 80 million people their lives pretty f****n stupid.
FTFYI don't know. I think I'd call anyone who starts a war that costs 80 million people their lives and loses pretty f****n stupid.
Stupid any one who ... declares entire fields of science Jewish has to be pretty fucking stupid

Let's examine some of the more important ones case by case:
Göring scored the third highest on I.Q. tests at Nuremberg, so yes. However, he was a incompetent, showing intelligence is not everything.
Himmler was crazy but was better at running the SS than Göring was at the Luftwaffe. He just had good administrative skills for some reason. His subordinates may have played a part. Still, even that takes some skill.
Goebbels had a doctorate and sided with Speer in his conflicts with the aforementioned men.
Bormann was the model sycophant and basically became Hitler's right hand man.
Hess was even crazier than Himmler and probably unlike Bormann, actually worshipped Hitler.
Heydrich was probably smarter the Göring and had Himmler's administrative skills.
Ribbentrop was also a sycophant but people seemed to think he was bad at his job. I don't think he ever screwed up as Foreign Minister, so I don't know where this comes from.
Speer scored in the middle of the I.Q. tests (still high at 128). However, his actions during and after the war show him in a better light than these other Nazis.
Hitler was a know-it-all but the kind who doesn't understand what he knows.
