Why make Nazis cartoonish villains?


Why make them supervillains, whereas in fact they were "normal people." Hannah Arendt wrote a book, "Banality of Evil" in which she explained the evil of the Holocaust as a by-the-numbers procedure perpetrators could emotionally disengage from as if it were just a bureaucratic chore. They were no supervillains, just clerks in the service of evil.
