What were the perceived threats of Hitler and Mussolini?

To answer this questions we need to clarity on the period
e are talking about and the people of nation feeling the
threat.

For example, perhaps for a long time Hitler and
Mussolini felt no threat from each other. While for Jews in Europe it was not just a
threat it was a real misery for a long time. For them it was a real calamity causing
immense amount of death, destruction and misery.

For many
countries, who were part of the axis power there was no threat or perhaps much less
threat than, that for allied countries. In general. in a period around 1941 and 1942,
most of the threats were actually being executed.

Then
turning to the German people who supported Hitler initially, began to see him as a big
threat subsequently to personal safety and freedom of people, and in later Hitler Had to
resort to very strong repressive methods to remain in power. Many of close associates of
Hitler also started viewing Hitler as a danger for the peace and prosperity of
Germany.

But speaking in very general term we ca say that
bot Hitler and Mussolini represented great threat to established human values such as
freedom, equality, and peace.
