In truth, how far back in history do you want to look? There were far worse than Hitler and Stalin in this world I'm sure.
The mongolians enjoyed catapulting dead bodies into castles they were besieging and that's just touching the surface. Others improved on this technique and catapulted plague infested bodies into castles.
You've all heard of Vlad the Impaler I'm sure. He would impale all captured prisoners in front of the advancing turkish armies presenting a forest of impaled soldiers complete with the ravens and vultures picking at the sometimes still alive victims, poison all wells (with plague, mind you) and send lepers into the turkish camps at night, disguised as whores. Gory to say the least.
The aztecs kept an 'independent' county in the middle of their empire so they could raid them for sacrificial victims - usually removing their hearts at sunrise..while still alive.
But ultimately evil is still a matter of perspective, as the human mind can rationalize any act.
