This is exactly the sort of nonsense that my suggestion is designed to avoid.
If all you know about Hitler is that he was in charge of Germany during the second world war, they lost, a bunch of people died, but their uniforms looked cool (Hugo Boss, looks sharp) and people called him “Fuhrer” (German sounds so badass) then yeah, this kind of thing doesn’t seem so off.
I want my representatives - whatever their affiliation - to have stood in front of the pile of children’s shoes and the mass graves and the charred ruins. I want them to have stared at the abyss, felt the horror and the despair and the inhumanity and the evil and truly understood the weight of the responsibility they have to ensure we learn from our history.
You can show them all the horrors of war, and they’ll tell you that they have the fortitude to do whatever is needed to protect the homeland. To them not flinching shows how tough they are.
Be careful. That could backfire.
