More responsible would be better, evil is so relative if you do bad things for what you believe to be the greater good it isn't really evil just twisted. But Himmler was the driving force behind the final solution.

Re: Hitler
That assumes that Hitler conceived of "the greater good" in the same way as the rest of us, which, if I may be so presumptuous, would be the betterment of all mankind by an objective and universal standard. Hitler completely rejected such a concept- humanism and universal values were foreign to him. The only good that mattered was the good of his nation, and by definition this was also the detriment of other nations, because his view of history required his nation to expand continuously and engage in wars for their own sake in order to survive.
Re: Hitler
Well he didn't believe in that he believed in the aryan race that was good for him. If I could ever qualify is really evil it would be King Leoplod II, he did it all for himselve. The greatest forgotten crime in history and one heck of a book;

Re: Hitler
Look brothers, are we going to take any crappy Web article seriously?
For example: the Madagascar plan was Himmler's idea, not Hitler's. Himmler presented it in May 1940 as an alternative, since the 'Bolshewist method of physical annihilation' was still deemed 'ungermanisch' (un-Germanic) in leading nazi circles. The decision to exterminate Jews was almost certainly taken in 1941, and it was almost certainly imposed by Hitler himself. In the Spring of 1941 Himmler told Htiler's personal physician Felix Kersten that the total innihilation of Jewry had been ordered by the leader: "Das ist der eindeutige Befehl des Führers.“
Need I go on?
Forget the Web,
It's full of crap.
Instead go look
For a decent book.
Right on..
Just click on the link I provided, turn to the authors mentioned and take it from there.

Re: Hitler
Huh. Given that how they go, nevermind why they're fought in the first place, is usually largely politics...
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
