They were insane insane insane, but I'm always concerned about the implications as we get further removed from the era of those who lived though horrible scourge they brought on society. People who may be *technically* intelligent (will not comment on Nazi intelligence) but morally horrific could capture another nation and turn it into a genocide or omnicide machine. The strains that brought about Nazi Germany seem frighteningly possible if you give an advanced nation the level of instability that post WWI Germany had.
