Because extremists hold certain views does not mean of itself that those views are necessarily suspect. i.e. Germans who are communist sympathisers do not want Nazism to resurrect. But so do most German citizens of any political persuasion.

it's our variety of Political Correctness, partly rooted in - rightfully - atoning for the atrocities of the Third Reich, partly perhaps rooted in related self-hatred, partly rooted in, whatever, I don't know"
It's been more than 60 years since the end of WW2 - and while not wanting to make light of the suffering involved on ALL sides at that time - I think more than enough bedwetting has occurred since then on Germany's responsibility.. If anything Germans should be on the lookout for any movement or cult that has similar aims and methods that Nazism had.
