Re: Some Germans See Positive Aspects to Nazi Rule, Poll Shows
I agree with DGG that is nearly implausible not to find something done by a hideous regime that wound up a positive whether it be intended or not. The better way is to show how the bad falls through the floor on the measuring scale.
However, to avoid allowing poisonous people slyly to make a bad regime sound good or not so bad, like neo-Nazis and sympathisers with that regime or its ideologies, it's important to be armed with the full facts on what is claimed to be 'good.' (Note: I am not inferring any poster yet on this thread is such a person).
For example, the Autobahn and much of the new 1930s employment and economy was intended and geared towards the Nazi military preparations for its intended wars. The Autobahn is viewed as a good thing to have today for the daily civilian use of Germany, but the original intent behind it was largely evil. The Germans would have built a superhighway structure under a peaceful regime anyway at some point like many First World nations have. The same can be said about this woman talking about the merits of traditional family structures. The Nazis took a valid concept and twisted it into something evil, such as the 'lebensborn' programme for breeding the 'master race.' So called Aryan women were forbidden abortion, but Jews and other 'undesireables' were encouraged to abort and/or were even subjected to experiments. Of course, mass extermination of all 'undesireables' followed. Healthy concepts such as scouting were twisted into Hitler Youth where poisonous indoctrination was fused into healthy scouting and sports.
Schools and universities were hijacked and refitted to serve Nazi ideologies, even its malicious quack 'science' on racial matters.
What the Nazis did, really, was take already good concepts and things and manipulate their strengths to serve evil purposes so that the virally infected good aspects camouflaged and/or won over the people to evil. There wasn't any real 'good side' to them.
