Read some hx. Much of Hitler's philosophy was predicated on the German's "need" for expanded living space as well as the reclamation of land lost to the Versaille treaty. German perception, not entirely off-base, was that the nation had been treated shabbily by the winning powers after WWI. Deep rooted resentment and an economy in the tank were fertile soil for Hitler's agressive stance.
This miserable little war is an attempt to remake the ME, and neuter radical Islamic factions. It's as misguided and stupid an effort as one can possibly imagine. It's unjust. It's backfiring, but it's not historically accurate to compare it with Nazi agression. It's far more apt to compare current US actions to British imperialism during the 19th and early 20th century.
