I have a nazi obsession.

Hello, I have a bit of an issue. I'm a guy who is in love with the style of the Third Reich, by that I mean I love the uniforms, architecture, military haircuts and everything. I am not a neo-nazi or some other white supremeist. I think those people are idiots and I believe what the National Socialists did was truely evil. I'm not a rascist, I don't hate jews, one of my best friends is jewish. But at the same time I sympathise with fascism and find that kind of power and control something I really desire.

But what I'm most afraid of is that sometimes I'm afraid that I'm no better than the nazis who did all those evil things. I may never have hated people because of race or relegion but I have been disgusted by certain people to the point of wanting to do similar things to them. I just feel sometimes like I think just like them. So tell me, is it normal? Or is their anyone else like me out there that struggles with this?

    Judging from what they play on the History and Military channels, you are far from being the only one obsessed with it.

    Besides the bad, Hitler did a lot of great things. He built great roadways for his country.

    I admire the naval uniforms used by Hitler's navy. They are so wonderfully designed. It's obvious that the Nazis put loads of thought into their designs, so on that note I do think it's normal. This desire for power is something I can't sympathise with, as I don't crave it. That doesn't mean it's not normal, however.

    I have the same obsession with EVERYTHING from World War Two. I love everything about it, and I know the exact feeling you have, however it's worse because in any class I take about World War Two, someone puts two and two together and figures out that my family is German and i'm instantly labeled as a Nazi.

    There is something about the absolution of anything. Space is infinite, and since humanity became a sentient race we obsess over its endlessness. The Nazi party (for most of those at the time) did not really mean anything bad. After all, 90% of the Germany military/people knew nothing about the death camps, just that the Jews were a "problem". What you may be obsessed with, and I have sort of the same problem, is the idea that the Nazi party is the absolution of evil. The atrocities committed by Hitler's SS are the stuff nightmares are built on. For the same reason some people turn their entire lives to God, and the good that comes from most religions by donating their entire existence to the cause, some people are fascinated by the evil perpetrated by Hitler. As long as you don't want to inject strange chemicals into your friend's eyes to see if they change color, pay him to murder other Jews, only to kill him afterward, line him, and 10 of his Jew friends up and see how many a single bullet will kill, you are fine. All of those things happened, btw.

    it's normal, it's not what they did you desire it's their power and how much control they had and their uniform even incorperated that power and authority in them. but i would be a little carefull of sometime feeling like they did towards people.

    Es ist Zeit für Rache! Wir müssen die Juden ausrotten!

    Seriously, though. Desire for power is pretty common. It's human. The aesthetic of Nazi Germany was all about power and strength, and if you're the kind of person who likes being in control then that will resonate with you. It doesn't make YOU a Nazi, however.

    • When is the last time you took over half of the world and saved an entire nation from the worst economic crash in history all within 4 years, while simultaneously inventing things that are still in use almost 100 years later? Oh right, you didn't. Guess that makes YOU the pussy.

    Yes it is normal. They were actually very well organized. As it should be with all militarily. Now the leader of this army had questionable motives yes. It does not change the fact they were very well put together. Hitler aimed for perfection. So of course his troops are going to be well put together. Perhaps you are attracted to uniformity. Some people also like strict order, discipline and structure. Also some people in this world are disgusting. Some people commit horrible acts for the sickest reasons. A lot of people are disgusted by these type of people and some think these kind of people just deserve to die. In the old days the punishment fit the crime. Wanting to kill someone for being a jew or something like this is wrong though.

    I am fascinated with Nazi's, I read the books, watch the films, and as a girl I kind of find them quite hot. Not in a sick way though.

    I have the same thing, i mean- I have 100's of antique nazi flags, medals, helmets, photographs, and weapons. Besides one of my ancestors was a king tiger tank II driver, and I'm not a neurological nazi. Listen the only serious thing the nazis did were the holocust, or we would've been treated like the imperial army. The whole fachiast culture is amazing, not horriffic

    well, I've always wanted their helmet or uniform, but I'd never hang their flag in my house.
