Read ConstantReader's reply. I was going to say something along the same line, but she said it better. Yes, Hitler's party won an leadership of a parliamentary coalition- -and then seized total power. But I could come with literally hundreds of examples of kings, emperors, and dictators who led their countries into war.

Some men knowingly aided and sheltered by that "little stone age country" killed 6,000 American civilians. That's more than twice then number of fatalities at Pearl Harbor. Do we ignore this too?
