30. Yes, he was perfectly mentally healthy

he coldly and calculatedly created a political ideology to enable him to gain power and murder those he used as scapegoats to cover his and others failures. He was entirely responsible for his actions and knew exactly what he was doing. Your attempt to take away from his responsibility with "mental illness" is a slap in the face to all those who died in the holocaust.

And BTW... do yourself a favor and read some history. Hitler was not a "charmer" (and I'm kind of worried you find him charming, but I digress). Prior to his rise to power, we was essentially a street thug. He and his gang of followers engaged in roughing people up on the streets regularly, and he got to do some prison time. Not exactly the life of a charmer. He was essentially an ex-con thug. When Germany was at it's low point, he took to giving angry speeches to capitalize on what he saw was a political opportunity to gain power. Meanwhile, in the background, his gang of thugs made sure to... encourage... the right people to stay out of his way.
