A lot of Nazi murderers were “ordinary men”. Not clinically insane by any def.

That was the famous thesis of Hannah Arendt on “The Banality of Evil”: that guys like Adolf Eichmann were not psychopaths or villains, they were in almost every other respect identical to what we would consider average, everyday citizens.
