Please note: Claude Rains was Captain Renault in "Casablanca". You're obviously thinking about Conrad Veidt (who, by the way, was also great in "Dr. Caligari's Cabinet")
These being said, I'd think Olivier's performance was the best, while Peck and McKellen were probably closer to a "stock" Nazi than Fiennes.

Often overlooked is the superb performance by Maximilian Schell in The Man in the Glass Booth, who was nominated for Best Actor in the 1975 film.
Of course, the question is, is he a Nazi who took the identity of a Jewish concentration camp victim, Arthur Goldman, at the end of the war or is he actually Goldman.

Kinda scary that 4 people still voted for Claude Rains... :D
Maybe they are all thinking of Notorious instead.

Over Schultz?! C'mon, ya know he was an evil bastard! "I see Nothing!" You know that was just cause he wanted Clink to take the fall so that he could ultimately swoop in and take over once his superior was gone.
I voted for Olivier. But Schultz would have been second. ;)

That's what I thought of when I was reading the list of names. I really thought Max didn't get the critical attention that it deserved. I was a very well-made movie with an interesting "what if" story to it. And from all of the studying and research that I've done on Hitler (I am working towards a doctorate in History just in case you were worried about why I was doing research on Hitler) his portrayal is pretty dead-on.

It's sad to see that Ralph Fiennes is winning. As someone has already said, his acting is way over the top. His character is certainly not the most accurate portrayal of a nazi.
But, it is the best portrayal of the preconceived notions most people have about the nazis in general, so I guess that explains why he's winning.

There was one in THE COUNTERFEIT TRAITOR (1962), a little blond creep with glasses who's quite chilling and poses a genuine threat not only to the hero (William Holden), but to his own parents.
