Hitler and the Nazis were some of the worst people in human history (if not the worst).

Mostly hyperbole.

The Nazis were on par with many others in human history.

Consider the Roman legions, the Mongol hordes under Genghis Khan, the Aztecs, numerous Islamic administrations, Stalin, Mao, Pol Poi, the English and Spanish during the hundred years war, various factions in the Eighty Year's war and the 30 year's war, the Jacobins during the French revolution, the Japanese in China, before and during WWII.

All of them did deeds just as bad as the Nazis.

There are, no doubt, many examples in Africa and Asia I am missing.

There are, without doubt, numerous examples in the New World which were never recorded for lack of a written language.

The Nazis were exceptionally and extremely bad for certain groups of people, and bad for most others - there’s no way to sugarcoat their evil. The Communists were slightly less exceptionally extremely bad for everyone. It can be well argued that Stalin was overall much worse than Hitler.
