Bad leadership? Too much politicking? I legitimately can't think of anything else.

To elaborate on those though, dumbfucks like Himmler never should've had any power. Himmler in particular was a corrupt moron and ended up giving modern cucks plenty of legitimate or partially legitimate claims of "da ebul notsees!!!" shit, and reinforces lies like the Holobunga.

As far as politics, there was a bunch of internal politics that got in the way of a functional state. The entire point of a one-party or no-party state is that the government is way more efficient and can get shit done. While this was true and the Reich was quite efficient, the Third Reich could've been even more successful and even more efficient had the needless internal politics been nipped and the focus been put on winning the war and spreading Third Positionism and Reactionary thinking to the whole of Europe and the world. This is also an issue of leadership, though, and better leaders would've shut down or at least mitigated in some way the internal bickering.

What about Himmler do you think marks him out as particularly corrupt or moronic?

A perfect exemplar is his protection of Dirlewanger; a total degenerate that should've been killed outright years prior, and yet he and his gaggle of subhumans was allowed to continue their existence and war crimes for far too long. Himmler supposedly even had an officer that intended to report Dirlewanger's degenerate rampaging to Hitler shot.

This and his obsession with occultism both did just as much damage to the reputation of fascism/National Socialism as that of lies such as the Holocaust.

One potential criticism is that the Fuhrerprinzip was too restrictive in practise. Hitler implemented so as to hamper the ability of lower ranking party members to interfere with matters beyond their immediate responsibility. This worked fine in most cases, but during the war, it broke down in some ways. Party members needed to co-ordinate their actions with different branchs of the government, but their ability to do so was restricted by the Fuhrerprinzip. Hitler enforced it very rigorously, mainly because he feared the possibility of a potential rival seizing too much power.
