I'm wondering by the way what you make of the new kids on the block in the old mind wars game...?
I'm afraid to ask.
Everything that is regarded as an essential aspect of the romantic spirit: irrationalism, the mystic welding-together of subject and object, the tendency to intermingle the arts, the longing for the far-away and the strange, the feeling for the infinite and the continuity of historic development - all these are characteristic of German Romanticism, and so much so that their union remains unintelligible to the Latins. What is known as Romanticism in France has only its name in common with German Romanticism.
Gustau Pauli, in Dehio’s Geschichte der deutschen Kunst (1919-1934)
Similarly the life-worship of the Third Reich was not what the “Mediterranean” mind understands by this term. The “life” is the life of the state, or more precisely the Volk (perhaps best translated as the “soul of the people”). The individual achieves self- realization as, through his efforts, he contributes to the strengthening of this “soul”.

Fear not, I will hold your hand throughout, if you are really interested, I will yell you about the Moon, maybe it will jog your memory along the way.
In the immediate years before we entered the War there was a small, but fiercely loyal, I suppose legal, following of the Nazi party . . .
"There were open meetings, anybody could attend and I wanted to see what was going on myself. On more than one occasion I observed Walt Disney and [Disney's lawyer] Gunther Lessing there, along with a lot of prominent Nazi-afflicted Hollywood personalities. Disney was going to meetings all the time."

The German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, whose documentaries in the mid-30s had helped to glorify the Nazis, claimed that "after Kristallnacht [1938], she approached every studio in Hollywood looking for work. No studio head would even screen her movies except Walt Disney. He told her he admired her work but if it became known that he was considering hiring her, it would damage his reputation."

There is nothing special about the way that the German people responded, and romanticizing what they went through in the fashion that you have presented it here is by definition perverted. The Germans have a super-power? They become Nazis under extreme social and cultural stress? That's one of the most preposterous things I have personally ever heard. Germany does not have the market cornered on fascism, or the extreme ways that all people might express fascism when under certain forms of societal stress.

"The coherence-stimulating technique used in this study involved the use of binaural-beat audio tones known as Hemi-Sync®. The term “binaural-beat” refers to a method in which one tone at, say, 400 Hz is played in one ear while another tone at, say, 406 Hz is played in the other ear. These two pure tones are heard along with a subjective beat frequency, or warbling tone, generated by overlapping circuits in the brain’s audio cortex"

It's beyond me how you could have missed all the nazis at Disneyland from way up there...
Just once I would like to be able to explore the Temple peacefully, and maybe leave with a handful of gold & jewels. But no:

I know that you and I could not have possibly been the only two kids that have wanted to get off the boat at the Pirates or the Indiana Jones ride. Even though I knew from an very early age that it wasn't real, I think that somehow I thought that the addition of me would make it all real, that somehow it was just waiting to be real but all that was missing was me.

Let me summarize my conclusions thus far. UFOs are real. They are physical devices used to affect human consciousness. They may not be from outer space. Their purpose may be to achieve social changes on this planet, through a belief system that uses systematic manipulation of witnesses and contactees; covert use of various sects and cults; control of the channels through which the alleged “space messages” can make an impact on the public.

Awesome, now we have a psyop military intelligence type who has worked in all the right places to know SOMETHING about what's going on, telling us all UFO reports have prosaic explanations. This same guy was earlier saying he cannot speak on the matter of aliens at length because of security oaths.
Haha

I would imagine any species traversing the heavens will have figured out vaccines pretty easily...
