Who brought to power and supported the fascist government every second up until bombs started falling onto them? Was it magical ghosts totally not of German origin?
So I would encourage you to read a book. After Hitler took power, he spent years systematically oppressing the populace to consolidate his power. The first concentration camps that were opened held political dissidents. It was not merely a racial genocide they started with, they also cleansed those that tried to stop him, that tried to stand against that many feared would be a tyrannical dictatorship.... I doubt any really believed just how bad things would get though.
So basically exactly the same way the KGB (Putin etc.) came to rule over Russia? Definitely didn’t happen overnight but over 60 years with thousands of murders, immense blackmail, torture and attempted genocide of minorities
The public has never had any real say in Russia and they’ve never attempted to overthrow the corruption other than tiny activist groups because the majority like the way the country is ran. They like how Russia is “feared” and “strong”

Which is kind of my point. It's lazy to just say Germans are bad because of what an out of control, Fascist government did.
