I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a city built on its German heritage, and very proud of it.
Truth be told, even in my travels abroad I rarely encountered any hostility against Germans due to Nazism. I think this is a case of considering the source - only a moron would consider modern day Germany to be derivative at all from Nazi Germany.
You should consider where you're encountering these idiots who make the comparison. For instance, if its online in a forum such as this consider that it may just be someone trying to get under your skin. My advice to you is to not let them be effective at that.
