The main problem I have with your view on Nazi Germany is not that you disagree with me, but rather what I perceive as a defeatist mentality.

The reality of the situation is that ANY leader that stands against them is suspect. There is no way around that. If we trust our gut that the next leader is the real thing, we will most likely end up just like the Germans did during and after WW2. It's the nature of the beast.
It's not self-defeating. Understanding the tactics of the enemy makes us stronger, not weaker. Once we understand not to back leaders with our lives, the next obvious step is to devise other strategies, like leaderless resistance.
We will never know if any would-be leaders are the real thing or not. Any competent would-be leader knows this as well, and if there is one he will lead "anti-semites" to battle is such a way that none would have to trust their lives against his word.
Then as now, 90% of the battle is information. Those who want to control information will try to elevate such battles to violence instead. Hitler did not mount an effective information battle. he only said things that were true and those who agreed got killed. His message was not designed to convince the world, only to conscipt soldiers to war.
