No, a dictator can be benevolent. What if a foreign government destroys your country, the populace is largely uneducated and you have the power to reinstitute order in to then transition to a government by and for the people? The US, under Obama, destroyed Libya, what if someone with genuine good intentions would have seized the opportunity in order to prevent what did become reality, that all the people got was a puppet government. This is partly hypothetical but my point is clear, I hope.

This is false, the Germans didn't learn anything at all from WWIII. If they did learn anything, they learned the wrong lessons. Germans learned that one shouldn't wage war, that there is no such thing as 'better' cultures or societies, that one should under no circumstances label any group, that one must be tolerant towards anyone at all cost. What do Germans do then, once we start talking about cultures where infant genital mutilation is the norm? What do Germans say, when confronted with the fact that certain religious ideologies push for LGBT people being shot, hanged or thrown from rooftops? What do germans say, when one takes any western, developed or not, society and compares it with others known for legitimizing rape, child marriage and even pedophilia? What do Germans do when the group to be labeled is indeed the enemy? All Germans say is: "WWIII taught us <insert totally wrong statement here>." Therefore, everything you have mentioned is perfectly fine, since it takes place in small numbers and in a culture we do not understand. Small for who? Of course, small for those who have the provilege of observing reality from afar. Then, in a very German fashion, everyone who disagrees with their utopic rosa-tainted view of the world is a Nazi and deserves to be socially isolated and ostraziced! Well, they did, indeed, learn nothing from WWIII.
Trust me, I live here, love politics and philosophy and discuss these topics with all my German acquaintances and friends. I respet them for many reasons, but being ethically and morally mature and capable as a society is not one of those reasons.
