Rudolf Hoess, also spelled Rudolph, remains one of the most notorious members of the Nazi party in history. He was the commandant of the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, where he oversaw the systematic execution of a huge number of people.

Few groups throughout history have become so hated as the Nazis. Today they may be frequently used as villains in films, comics, novels, and even video games, but the fact is that they were one of the most terrifying groups to ever exist and were responsible for the systematic extermination of millions of men, women and children throughout Europe.

During the Holocaust, monsters in the skin of men reigned terror on entire populations of people. Of these monsters, few are as notorious as Amon Goeth. The overall terror that he inflicted during WWII was captured perfectly in the film Schindler's List, in which Ralph Fiennes portrayed the murderous Nazi.

While Adolf Hitler is known as the leader of the Nazi party and a murderous madman who is responsible for the extermination of over six million Jews and millions of other people, he wasn't alone. In fact, Hitler's henchmen – his inner circle of fanatical and ruthless subordinates – were often just as evil as he was, and sometimes even more evil.

The Nazi Party is one of the most virulent and dangerous strains of fascism that arose in the wake of World War I. Fascism is a political belief and system that has many different components and no scholars have ever agreed on a precise definition. However, there are many individuals aspects to Nazism that anyone can recognize.
