The most terroristic man was Heinrich Himmler
The most terroristic man was Heinrich Himmler because indeed Hitler was the face of the Nazi Party but worked behind the scenes. The fact that he planned mass murder in cold and organized manner was what made him so frightening as compared to raging speeches and wild acts. Killing the millions was not insanity it was job that has to be well looked after and Himmler was the right person who excelled it.
In order to increase its power, Himmler transformed a small guard company into an effective SS. He demonstrated his devotion to the group also, on the night of the long knives when the SS aided in annihilating rivals of Hitler. This party put the SS into great influence and loyally bound them to Hitler.
Himmler then increased his grip further by absorbing all the police in Germany including the secret police, the Gestapo. This granted the SS the authority to arrest, torture, and kill anybody unconditionally. He also divided SS into two branches; one was a combat division that engaged in the war and the other the gargantuan network of death and concentration camps.
Having control of both the military and utter terror Himmler had established a regime that was a dictatorship, system of mass murder and supreme power.
