"Nazi Germany's fervor was based on a strong sense of Facism." Begging your pardon, but...

...the aforesaid fervor was based far more on:

-- The deep and abiding cultural traditions and humanism of Leibniz, Schiller and Beethoven (inter alia).

-- The fine German hochschule and university education system.

-- The patent unfairness (rapaciousness, really) of the Versailles Treaty.

-- Hitler's economic recovery action plans, which worked to Germany's immense benefit. (And they bore no small resemblance to FDR's New Deal.)

"During the rise of Nazi Germany, one of the goals was to be a World superpower." Again begging your pardon, but that was the Soviet Union's express goal. And who exactly fought against that menace? America? Britain? No; the only anti-Communist on the block was Herr Hitler, and even he waffled.
