Also; They’re not the enemy anymore because their dumbasses lost, so I can call them dumb.

I'm talking in general. Obv nazi germany hasn't existed for a long time. It's better to overestimate than underestimate imo

True, but that doesn’t explain why the History Channel made a bunch of breathless documentaries about the power of the Nazis fifty years after they were defeated

Aren't those the same guys that love dipping into conspiracy territory when it's late enough? Then the answer is money

You also have video games and movies and books making the Nazis out to be way more competent. It’s not like Wolfenstein ended with a drugged-up syphilitic Hitler cowering in a bunker, but a mecha-Hitler with Gatling guns.

And it made money because of what I mentioned: It made Americans and Brits and Russians feel like they’d defeated a huge monster, not a country full of amphetamines and vibes.
