Not at all. Many of Hitler's associates were remarkably intelligent (IQ scores):

1 Hjalmar Schacht 143

2 Arthur Seyss-Inquart 141

3 Hermann Goering 138

4 Karl Doenitz 138

5 Franz von Papen 134

6 Eric Raeder 134

7 Dr. Hans Frank 130

8 Hans Fritsche 130

9 Baldur von Schirach 130

10 Joachim von Ribbentrop 129

130 is about 1 in 50 people.

Which perhaps is still remarkable, but I think it is a much higher frequency than most people would intuit from the number.

this doesn't really mean anything? you would find similarly high iq people around anyone with the power and the money to acquire them.
