German animation explains the evils of ubiquitous surveillance

It’s partly correct, in this case. We fucking had Nazis in this country. Hell, we invented them and they were a well established part of the political landscape of this country and we are still working on the aftershocks, like when we find Nazi-sympathetic texts given to current high school graduates in an unbroken chain¹ from 1945 to today.

Outside of Germany, the political impact is far less: The Nazis were bad guys and got theirs. Invoking parallels to Nazism there is in most cases farfetched and in many cases absurdly wrong.

¹ This refers to the history, not the actual bookgiving.
