"But the facts are much different than your fiction." You have to be careful here. Taro and Peter are operating under the "single drop" theory that any socialistic tendencies meant that it is all socialistic. Hitler was a complex individual. He had a genuine desire to help his (adopted) people. Hence his socialistic tendencies. Like the taxation and other things. One cannot forget the Volkswagen, for example. However, he had a very strong drive for power. To facilitate that, he had many aspects that we identify as right wing. Hitler's bottom line was the expression of his ideal for the Germanic people, he didn't really care what the means were. A good analysis of his mindset from an American perspective can be seen in the "Great War" series by Harry Turtledove. Jake Featherstone is the prototype of an American Hitler. By design, mind you, but the series shows how such a person can develop. This series of novels is the strongest argument I have seen of why the South had to lose the Civil War. The alternative presented is so much worse than our reality... Ok, I have only read through "Blood and Iron". But that is enough for me to conclude that things could have been much worse.
