"Why are Americans so obsessed with Nazis? "
Good question. Maybe different reasons. There sure are a lot of Nazi documentaries on cable.
. Twelve year old boys like snappy uniforms and the idea of a warrior ethos.
. You don't need a God to form a religion, sometimes a Devil is enough. The secular Left, now that culture has taken the place of economics as something to argue about, seems to have built a philosophy with Hitler at the bottom. Enemies are, of course, Hitler.
. WWII makes for a great story. Good guys, bad guys, worldwide (thus the name), heros and villains. Maybe the US is bored with Cowboys and Indians.
