This probably will seem like a strange comparison, but -- Hitler apparently had huge internal fears about Jews, Slovaks, the mentally ill, retarded people, practically anyone he saw as "weak". (There is evidence that he actually had a Jewish ancestor, and that he knew or suspected that.) He evidently feared that he shared in their weakness and could not stand that thought. He killed many people in an attempt to wipe out his fears of them, but as many people as he could kill, he could never kill his fears, because his fears were inside of him, not outside.
That is my interpretation, anyway.

Oh my gosh!! this all makes so much sense. Yes-suppression of feelings/thoughts as a child does not instantly reverse. it does take much hard work and much self examination. I so agree.
I don't think your comparison of Hitler is strange at all-- I think it's very insightful and very well expressed.
Alas, weakness and fear can sure wreak havoc on ones self and others
