Having said that I may be defeating my own argument as it could be viewed I suppose that Hitler wasn't actually "corrupt" in the way we are discussing. I suppose there is a difference between being corrupt and being, for want of a better term, evil.

In Hitlers case I think there must have been something seriously wrong with him from square one, I have never heard of any suggestion that his intentions were ever anything but evil
