If the Nazis conquered the world and were able to basically brainwash everyone into their ideology, then gassing Jews wouldn't be considered evil. But such an outcome was never really within the realm of possibility.

I gather from your response then that the answer is YES -- Nazis, if they could successfully do what they do are NOT intrinsically evil, just different.

Who judges what is considered intrinsically evil? You would say it is a divine being, but that explanation doesn't work for me since I don't believe in such beings. So, yes, if Nazis conquered the world and spent several generations brainwashing the rest of us, they could define what is and isn't intrinsically evil.
