It never occurred to me but those photos of how he could have disguised himself shows just how ordinary and nondescript his face was. Tiny changes like losing the mustache and combing his hair differently make him look completely different.

I've always wondered why he had that mustache and his hair combed like that. It wasn't like it was in style. I think I know why he did it now. Just so people would know who he was. He and many of his officers were the furthest thing from the Aryan Super Race they said was so pure. Most were actually short and runt like. None were blond or Adonises.

Well, if he started his murderous career because he felt slighted because of his ordinariness, he sure got even with the world didn't he?

He was a frustrated artist (could do a reasonable landscape and city scape, but had trouble drawing and depicting people- weird) and supposedly had a Jewish girlfriend who rejected him on religious grounds. A lot of "if's, but's and could have beens in that monsters life.
