das boot was a too realistic movie. Nazism under other names existed (and still does) for thousands of years before Hitler and his crew got a hold of it. German people were the ones in WW2 that fell under its lure but what about the Japanese under their "divine destiny" urged upon them by the ruling military? Need I mention Il Duce and the blackshirts? Or what about Franco of Spain and Ante Pavelic? My point is there were many fooled by dictators in the past and probably will be in the future.
