They don't even hide it, some of the people behind the MAGA movement have openly spoke about how they studied Goebbels' and Hitler's writings as a blue print for their political movement.

Trump's grandfather and father were German. His father was arrested for marching in a Klan rally. In the court records from his divorce from Ivana she described Donald always having a Hitler book with him.

We defeated them as an external enemy in the 1940's, but are now facing a more dangerous challenge. We have to confront and defeat the same fascist enemy from within.
The political cartoon "Pogo" used the statement, "we have met the enemy and he is us". Walt Kelly put this on an Earth Day poster in 1971. It's based on an earlier quote by Commodore Perry in 1813.

The baby boomers heard stories from their grandparents and parents about the Nazi’s in World War. The children of the baby boomers didn’t discuss the war and of course the generations after have no idea the horrors of the Nazi regime.

But that said there are plenty of documentaries about it on You Tube and there is an excellent one colorized on Netflix that is eye
opening ! Watching it I got nervous about the similarities of what we are experiencing now and how these young men are being
Indoctrinated by hate on the interest and these repuke white klansmen in disguise. They blame their failures on minorities and women when they are the losers.
