Bringing up his love for dogs is the Strawman - nobody said it until you did. You used it specifically to paint one person to be less evil than he deserves credit for. And by it discredit what you responded to. Yes, he may or may not have loved his dogs. That is immaterial as it doesn't make him any more likeable in my opinion. The other strawman (maybe it is the same?) is "Hitler wasn't always wrong" - nobody said once that "Hitler was always wrong".
A murder suicide is very common? I don't believe it is common at all even among those that commit suicide.
Did Hitler commit suicide in his bunker? That is another mystery.
But this is going way to far off-topic, bolongs in the P&R section, so this will be my last "Re:Hitler" post.
