Did your country have any Nazi sympathizers?

[Najnaj]

Yes there was the German-American Bund and it was quite large. Here is what one of their 1936 rallies looked like.

The documentary of this organization is what Fox News refused to run ads for ....

My country had some yes. I'm from germany btw.

By today's standards of the word Nazi, Germany had very few. Same as Lindbergh and many other Nazi sympathizers pre 1943ish. Hell, pre 1937ish Hitler was just a strong leader with some racist ideas that were not all that out of line with the times he was living in.

Once we got the pictures of the liberation of Auschwitz the word Nazi was very much redefined.

Still does in the form of neo-nazis grouping together under e.g Nordic Resistance Movement.

Back in the 30s and 40s though there were these guys too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation...Party_(Sweden)

My Hungarian grandfather volunteered into the Wermacht in 1940 as he found the at time time Nazi allied Hungarian government too slow on embracing Hitler's world view. Hungary had plenty of sympathizers who gleefully collaborated with the pogroms and deportations, Hungarian Jews and Rroma being one of the largest contingent of Holocaust victims.

He got transferred/promoted into the SS in 1944 when a Hungarian SS division was formed. He eventually surrendered to US forces in Austria, they handed him over to the Russians and he was in a Russian prison camp until 1953, returned to Hungary and fought to the Soviets in the Hungarian Uprising in 1956, when that was quashed he left for Austria again, met and married my grandmother there, avoiding a 2nd stint in a Russian camp. He arrived to the US in 1958 via Belgium, this time being an anti-communist hero.

He spent the rest of his life in the US being silently racist and anti-semitic. Grumbled when my dad married my Greek Orthodox mother but eventually accepted it. In his last years his overtly racist "Hitler did nothing wrong" side came out again, especially after my grandmother died (she was his polar opposite politically, I have no idea how she accepted him). We had incidents where he sent food back because the waiter was a person of color and shit like that in his last 2 years.

The problem is that people never learn the truth.
Hitler wasn't elected, he never got a majority.
Hitler was put in charge because the conservatives made him Chancellor. They allowed him to take power with a minority of the votes.

They used the letter of the law because the law supports undemocratic behaviour when capitalism is under threat.

He actually got the majority of the votes to give him all the power, while getting rid of parliament, its just that they put most of the people who would have voted against in prison[the entire communist party and half the Soc Dem party] Only 2 parties where against, so its not like it was that hard to jail them.

Practically every eastern bloc and German region immigrant we had in Australia during that age and the decades after it seems like. Every single one I've known and talked to have all said similar on the same topics. Hate communism, hate Stalin, hated the Jews involved in the aristocracy and the majority liked Hitler and said it was good or their parents said it was good living under him in the 30's. My wifes gran mother said her and her sister were able to escape the allies rape fest by jumping trains on semi repaired supply lines but their mother and some other family was killed by them. I had an ex whose grand father was a Jew but fought for Hitler in the African campaign. He was discharged after getting shot in the arse from trying to sneak over to another fox hole that had a billie tea going lolol.
Some hated Hitler for the devastation caused from the war but one thing I learned was never ever mention Stalin or communism, or every one of them would fly off into a rage and break down talking about their families being separated and murdered under that regime.
Some got quite passionate about it. I spoke once to a guy I worked with in the late 90's in a factory he was Hungarian. I said something like 'so what was life like in nazi germany for you and your parents' and his reply was 'it was great when Hitler got rid of those jew aristocrats that destroyed my people in the old empire'.

We had a lot of eastern bloc and former empire immigrants into Australia, quite a passionate bunch. Even now with most of the immigrants alive coming from the eastern bloc in the years proceeding the war are in their 70's but put 2 together in a room and they will talk about that period non stop for hours.

NASA is what it is today with the help of nazis...i wonder if that counts.

The same can be said of the cremation industry, not sure what either have to do with the topic though.

We had Percy 'Inky' Stephensen

Australian Nazis were not only on the fringes but made up by a selection of more mainstream political travellers, tourists, writers, poets, mystics, aesthetes and academic thinkers," he says.

The group was eventually suppressed by Australian security agencies after it pushed for a political alliance with the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan.

Stephensen was interned for much of World War II.

He spent almost three years in a camp without trial — a decision described by Australia's official war historian Paul Hasluck as the "grossest infringement of individual liberty made during the war".

Here is a picture of Percy... he even has a Hitler moustache
