The problem with the application of Godwin’s Law is that it usually ignores the fact that there are times when comparisons to Hitler and Nazis are legitimate.

Godwin's law doesn't even apply when you're talking about nazis in the first place. Otherwise you'd have to say William Shirer godwined himself when he wrote "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich."

Not when you are talking about Nazis but when you are talking about legitimate mirroring of Nazi policy or beliefs. There are times when it is a legitimate comparison. Usually it’s overstatement, but not always.
