The serious war decision made it necessary to keep the same strong man in office.
Wasn't that the same story with FDR and his 4th period?

There is a difference between voters deciding they want to keep the same guy in office, and the guy in office deciding he wants to stay there.

There are some distant similarities, between FDR and Hitler, but focusing on them distorts things because the difference are far larger and more important. You can find things that are similar with Hitler and a lot of people, but using them to imply that person X and Hitler are the same or almost the same, usually is neither accurate nor reasonable.

Also comparing FDR to Hitler, distracts people from arguments about actual problems with FDR. When you exaggerate so much in making criticisms, you cause some people who otherwise would have read/listened to your message to tune you out. You give people who would have debated the issue, and easier way to attack your argument, and you make some people who would have been on your side if you where making more reasonable criticism, instead argue against you.

If the Germans had won the way, no doubt they had celebrated that by getting rid if Hitler and his perverts.

I doubt it. Starting a movement to get rid of Hitler would not have been good for your health.
