This is largely true. The Nazi's did some fucked up things, but made great economic progress for their country, were environmentalists (first to pass a law protecting the environment), cared for (their own) people, made great military and scientific progress. We only see one side of it. Hey, even Netanyahu says Hitler wanted to expel the Jews to the M.E. until a Muslim convinced him to exterminate them, but try telling that to your history teacher... he wouldn't even be allowed to tell you that, even though it's true.
But yeah, I'd rather live under a Nazi regime than a Merkel regime. I say this not to downplay the atrocities of the Nazi's, but to highlight the atrocities of Merkel. Again, a Nazi regime would be more in my self interests than a Merkel regime. People like Merkel will be the end of Western Civilization, and they see this as a good thing.
But yeah, the people see how fucking backwards the world has become. Getting conquered is seen as the only "good, reasonable thing" to do.
