What were the personal characteristics of Hitler and Mussolini?

Both were talented speakers, Adolf Hitler especially.  He
could motivate a crowd like almost no one else of his time, pushing exactly the right
buttons to incite them into a frenzy of cheering and support.  He was also paranoid,
felt everyone was out to get him (perhaps one of the three dozen assassination attempts
against him might have pushed him over the edge).  He had the capacity for both
extraordinary kindness to children, animals, and women, and then flew into fits of
incredible rage and cruel indifference.

Mussolini was
arrogant and pompous.  He believed he was the new Roman Emperor, even though his empire
never came close to rivaling Ancient Rome's on any level.  He was a notorious womanizer,
and was loud and boisterous at parties, yet pensive and brooding in
private.
