  But their evil is different. Pointy's COLD evil is more evil than Weissmann's 
  HOT one. Blicero's passion makes him more human than Pointsman. Furthermore, 
  I dare to doubt that you can really identify Weissmann's dream as "the Nazi 
  dream". Are his primary concerns really "ethnic cleanness" & the German world 
  domination? I'm not quite convinced of that. Can you give concrete passages?
