I'm all for putting the holocaust in perspective, but I'm pretty bad with history so you'll have to explain that one to me. Frankly, sounds like another short-sighted attempt to compare a run-of-the-mill conquest to a systematized genocide. There actually is a reason that we say H----r's behavior was really bad, and the next person who says that something highly boring like an invasion is tantamount to Nazi Germany gets a very stern glare. Really, every time anyone sees something they don't like involving an exercise of power or racism they invariable invoke the name of H----r, because in the New Mythology, Nazi means bad! Newspeak rocks!
For the mere purpose of deposing Adolf Hitler from his position as the Devil in the New Mythology, I propose making Mein Kampf required reading in college. The abject irrational horror with which people approach he-whose-name-we-dare-not-speak is a sign of a degenerate intellectual culture.
