No, it makes sense in the German context. The holocaust is used by leftist Jewish groups to promote bringing in unlimited "refugees" and "economic migrants." It is also a weapon used against Nationalist groups in favor of globalism.
Rehabilitating German history is a logical thing to do in that context.
With all due respect for Herman Germanicus, Martin Luther, Hegel, Beethoven, Liszt, Konrad Heiden, Oscar Schindler, Judith Kerr, etc., etc., and no respect due to leftists who throw the term “Nazi” at anyone with a speck of nationalistic conviction of any kind in any form, Nazism was no “speck of bird poop” either. It has poisoned all subsequent history, and not just of Germany, either. It’s a real force in the Middle East, the Americas and Europe to this day, and will be butterflying outward long after the last man or woman with a tattoo on their arm is laid to rest.
Imagine if he had a non-grievance addled brain and the IQ to say: For 12 years, the Nazi anti-nationalists sought to reconstruct Germany, rewriting its past to a fantasy, arresting the killing opponents and minorities, and then went on a rampage trying to destroy almost every European nation and the ethnic identities of all Germanic peoples to create their fantasy state. The European Union is an heir to Hitler's New Order right down to the hatred of Slavic nations in the east, who don't know their place and don't follow the dictats of Berlin.
