Not intended as a lecture (I have a politics degree, so I hope I know a politics lecture when I hear one) just an observation based on my own conversations with Luftwaffe veterans recalling the pervasive nature of the propaganda. I would argue that the NSDAP did its best to make Germany racially-obsessed but not that it was totally successful.
P.S. I'm not sure where modern German politics starts for you (1949?) but I am a great admirer of the Bundesrepublik and the federal system.
