Yeah,like Ive read about how the nation had no pride after WW1. Hitler gave them their pride back. And a bit of healthy narcissism makes achieving your goals alot easier. I think you are right about the strong nationalism being linked to their achievments as a nation.
Its crazy that in todays world 'nationalist' almost translates to 'racism' to many people.
First, understand why the misled germans after WW2 had no pride. It stems from awakening of the lies spread by the Kaiser about german superiority and the shame for losing the war and the pain/suffering inflicted upon every human, including themselves with massive war debts to pay.
Hitler came to power during the depression era, and promise them dreams, the way the devil would tempt a weak human with untold power and wealth. Again, the suffering german masses fell for it. And in the end, they suffer the worst of suffering, watching their nation burned to ashes by an angry worldwide humanity, and if hitler had his way, more would have died for that bas*ard declared all germans should die in a Gotttermerung with him.
The war had proven genetic superiority and eugenics are nothing more than fantasies. Fortunately, today;s majority of free german people no longer buys that BS anymore, but had instead contributed much to the progress and evolution of mankind through their dedication, attention to detail, and in a sad manner, its clinging on to authoritarianism as the way of life, far different from indepent progress americans, whom question everything and evolved faster both on intellectual and physical natures.
Although germany remains very much a homogenous society like japan, racism is far lesser than in USA and Japan. They will work with anyone, evident in their worldwide reach with factories set up and humming prosperously. There is still some racism, but no more than any other nation in our infant class 0 civilisation yet to evolve.
They had learnt their lesson well, and its only the minority few germans that remained stubbornly ignorant, clinging on to a madman's theory, whom subscribe to Nietsche,another proven madmen who was sent to an asylum by his worshipper, Hitler himself.
its clinging on to authoritarianism as the way of life, far different from indepent progress americans, whom question everything and evolved faster both on intellectual and physical natures.

"Ex-Stasi Spy Chief Markus Wolf Hired By Homeland Security?
Wolf is the man that effectively built the East German state intelligence operation’s internal directorate," Martin continues. "He turned half the population into informants. That is his specialty, is taking a population, constructing the various state divisions, mechanisms of control, in order to organize informants within the population. That is his real specialty. And that is precisely, as Primakov has intimated, why Wolf is being brought in.

I see your point. I only have issue with one element you put forth... respectfully...
...Most regimes don't come to power by murdering or locking up their enemies...
I think that is almost always how regimes come into power... I suspect we are meant to think this was an exclusive trait of the Nazi and other "bad" regimes. In fact, most of the world's governments can't stand up to scrutiny in this regard. I would say "none can" but there has to be some exception out there.....

I think you are wrong on that point. The only time someone has tried to gain political power in England by the use of assassination was by one Guy Fawkes and his followers. He failed.

People operate on an Extreme-O meter where something has to be 100% good or evil, no inbetween. We are brainwashed to believe Hitler is pure sin, so if you question this, people automatically think you have an undying love of Hitler and you are warming up the ovens. The truth is all people are both good and evil, a mixture. Mein Kampf is poetically written and nothing anywhere close to the Satanic handbook the media makes it out to be, at the same time its not the bible either, it's just a book, people should take it for what its worth by actually reading it rather than crossing their fingers at it or throwing holy water on it.

There is no Nazis economic miracle.
Hitler was a puppet the elites handed him billions for a war he was supposed to lose to help build their industrial company's and lay the real groundwork for the military industrial complex.
This is like ATS 101 here folks.
