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.
I voted other.

Definitely Ralph Fiennes for me. His portrayal of Amon Goethe was just surpemely creepy and scary.
