minus-squareTunaCowboy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-23 hours agoGermany is roughly 138,000 square miles in size, while the USA is approximately 4,000,000 square miles. The population of Germany in the 1930’s was roughly 60,000,000, the population of the US today, closer to 400,000,000. The US does not share an international border with 10 different countries. That’s just for starters. So while I agree there are parallels, there are a lot more differences that you’re not accounting for.
