What you or I may believe about him is irrelevant. The facts establish these prejudices.
Different members of his political elite had different views on Jews, etc. For example, Goebbels was a cynic. He had nothing against Jews, gypsies, or gays. Their deaths were a means to an end for him, a way of utilizing fear and hatred of scapegoats to control the populace.
