Although if you look at recent political trends in Germany, they do seem to be picking up on the nazi mindset again
How so?
They just hosted the World Cup really well, everything seems to be going smooth in the ol' Rhinelands
hate against minorities (Jews, Blacks, Turks, ...) is way too high, especially in the east
government encouraging envy of rich people, blaming them for all sorts of problems (just like the nazis did with the jews)
calling people traitors that move away
police using illegal methods to get proof for crimes
encouraging people to spy on their neighbors/parents
increasing disregard for democratic principles and effort to curb freedoms
attempt to separate kids from their parents as much as possible including indoctrination at the day-care centers/schools
ect
Uh, step on the break there Max.

Where did you get those horror stories from ?
Anyway, I hate the fact too, that germany is still unable to make a step forward out of that past, but on the other hand 60 years is not a lot compared to the shit that happened back in the days.
The other problem is, that other people still want to make us feel guilty about it.
Best example : Few years ago a german politican held a speech in front of the israel congress and he was holding it in german.
A female congress member said she could not attend to that speech because the speaker used the same language, that the guys used who where torturing and killing her grandfather back in the days. Yeah...
Additionally to that the israelien community and their official speaker jump on every little antisemitial incident and blow
more air into the huge "guilt ballon".
Yes, we still have a lot of fucked up Nazi-supporters in germany and yes, especially in east germany the "scene" is pretty active, but it is still totally blown out of proportion for the most part.
When we can get rid of those nutcases and stabilize the way we deal with foreigners in general, we may have a chance to get out of the past.
