Check my justification for that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45022291

While what the Nazis did was extremely barbaric, I feel that people gate keep their references too much - especially when talking about their tactics and methods, rather than the magnitude of their cruelty. For example, you don't have to be Joseph Goebbels or someone as vicious as him to follow his tactics. And I don't find an issue in invoking his reference if someone does this.
