Maybe off topic, but I've always had a problem with the fetishization of Nazis as this unmatched evil in the world. Meanwhile one of the main fronts and goals of WWII was the expanding colonization of Africa and the Pacific. Where systemized atrocities against people who weren't European have been completely side stepped in history books and media.
Not off topic really. Because you’re correct. The issue is maybe periodicity. Or like an Israeli friend of mine says: we got our country. But colonial depredations against indigenous populations of people of color? Absolutely horrific. But standard for that period in general. Nazi Germany marked a departure, FWIW.
