That's pretty involved. There are several topics to go over there. Could take a long time to go over it properly.

My view of the Nazis is mixed but ultimately negative. They could probably have been a force mostly for good if they could have kept their revolution within their own borders.

I have a very negative view of alienated political dissidents who hero worship Hitler. It is unseemly in the extreme to see people from Allied states touting an enemy regime that their family members fought physically on the battlefield. Disgraceful really. Very disrespectful to their own family members that in some cases died or were badly wounded. Also looks cartoonish and larpy.

Well you didn't say they were wrong about the Jewish role in their cultural destruction or weimar revo9, that's a start

Their anti-Jewish policy was unwise. But had it been confined to Germany it wouldn't have mattered much. The waging of aggressive war, to take it externally, was the error. There is also an argument that Germany's anti-Semitic policies in Germany were useful in preventing Polish Jews from flooding Germany to escape that country's anti-Semitic policies.

At any rate Germany's policies toward Jews were still fairly mild prior to the outbreak of war. And waging the war is what undid them.
