Wasn't the claim that even those people, at that time, recognized Nazis as bad news? I'll review the thread but I don't recall anyone claiming the soldiers, politicians or civilians were particularly woke by modern standards.

The claim was that "we figured out how to handle Nazis 80 years ago", where the "we" that did the handling would be considered modern-day Nazis, and it is to people holding a mild version of their opinions that the modern "handling" is being applied.
