Yes...it's amazing how centuries of history gets overshadowed by one dramatic decade. I don't know if I have good answer for you. I've often felt that if the Nazis had never existed we probably would have had to invent them. They have become the ultimate cultural shortcut for the bad guy. Our favorite dispersion to cast upon any figure we don't like from an overbearing boss to unfavored politician. Somehow substitutes like Caesar or Genghis Khan don't quite cut it.
