Yup. People wanting the raving, carpet-chewing monster Hollywood Hitler were put off when he was shown as a considerate boss, and with the frailties of humans. The famous rant scene, plus some (genuine) lines about the necessity of his deeds, makes the effect all the more chilling, though - here's a man who can appear kind, and in the next second saying things like that the German race doesn't deserve to survive if it is overwhelmed by subhumans. The movie is excellent.
