I think you need to study your European history. Top Quark's post was factual. Germany and Russia were very different indeed.

In the last free Wiemar election (if you consider running a gauntlet of communist and nazi thugs to reach the polls a free election) the national socialists recieved about 30% of the vote. I must assume your history books have George Mcgovern beating incumbent President George Wallace in 1972. Ugh.
