OMFG you're trying to not see what I'm saying. Nazi Germany could not have influenced children if it did not espouse what the adult generation saw as how children should act. The adults would not have voted for Hitler. And generations before that generation, and before that generation, and before that generation, etc, etc, etc. It all fed into each generation.
Stop looking at the Nazis as a blip in German culture who existed distinct from everything before them. The Nazis could not have existed if they did not serve some purpose of the generation before them. It's all adults raising children and the adults (grandparents) who raised those adults now raising children and the Nazis were a part of that and could not have existed if they were anathema to the generation who were at the time raising children.
