At this point, after seeing the reaction of the German political mainstream to the Zionist Genocide - of unwavering support very overtly because of the ethnicity of those doing the deeds - it should be no surprise at all that, just like the "judging and acting towards others first and foremost based on their ethnicity" taken to the extreme level of supporting Genocide if committed by the "good" ethnicity (in other words, extreme racism), other elements of hard Fascist thinking are alive and well in Germany - the moral distance from the mainstream endorsing extreme violence and child murder along ethnic lines if committed by people of a "good" ethnicity and traditional fascism is merelly the addition of "we're a good ethnicity too", since the moral "hard work" of justifying evil acts using the "superiority" of specific ethnicities over others is already done by the first part.

If the foundations of Fascism were simply given a new coat of paint and a new list of "good" etnicities, and then kept being used in Mainstream German politics, it's hardly surprising that the overt Fascists quickly rose back up as soon as a large enough fraction of the locals was convince that they themselves were not being treated as a "good" ethnicity.
