I assume you're familiar, but a whole book was written about the various forms of evil perpetuated by the Nazi leadership. Eichmann isn't a good example- he knew he wasn't just following orders. The example you're thinking of is probably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Keitel who apparently wasn't even smart enough to realize the magnitude of what he was doing.

Yes, thanks for the clarification. My point still stands: I don’t think many people consider themselves evil or even consistently “doing bad”
