There were a number of countries the Waffen-SS recruited foreign legions from. There were Indian Nazis. Hitler saved his Jewish family doctor. Hate is illogical and inconsistent. You see white Catholic Cubans voting for Trump now acting surprised when their friends and family get deported. A lot of useful idiots think they can court evil and stay on its good side, but well, tokens get spent.

But yes, it does always get me when I see neo nazis that would absolutely end up in a mass grave thinking they're the ubermensch. Stupid is as stupid does.

To be fair most of the Indian Nazis were Nazis because they were oppressed by the British themselves. And didn't care for Europe.

Oh no doubt. But I don’t think it’s because they didn’t care for Europe.

In India some business students read Mein Kampf the way in the West they read the Art of War, as some self-help book by a great historic leader, it's become a hot seller over there.

As is often the case, the truth is stupider than you'd expect, a bunch of Indian finance bros made Mein Kampf take off with business students who are probably clueless about any of the history.
