Nazi Germany was never “great”. They were vile and amoral as the day is long. Murdering your way to the top simply doesn’t count as “greatness” by any rational measure. Now the german people themselves have a great historical legacy, but that aberation called Nazi Germany was just a brutish coup by criminals during a perfect storm, defiling and squandering what took centuries to build.

Like I said, great — infamous, morality — moral turpitude.

Great is measured by a standard ... when you measure it with no standard then it’s measured by notoriety.

Surely Nazi Germany had notoriety, which makes it great by no standard, but by moral standards it was infamous and not great.

The point was, less platitude, and a little more proverb.
