    “I should like to put it on record that I have never been able to dislike Hitler. Ever since he came to power—till then, like nearly everyone, I had been deceived into thinking that he did not matter—I have reflected that I would certainly kill him if I could get within reach of him, but that I could feel no personal animosity.”

    I think the first sentence was taken a bit out of context. In the second he says he would kill him if got the chance to. I think he’s just trying to say that Hitler was charismatic.
