These "normalizing" quotes are actually a critical part of a much bigger 
external context since Hitler is such a well known/reviled figure in history.

Since we know that we all have the potential for violence and dehumanization of an 
out-group, e.g. as exhibited in the "Stanford Prison Experiment", 
if anything, these quotes make him more terrifying, not less.
