What's really interesting right now is watching the rehabilitation of Adolf Hitler in real time. Before, him & the Nazis were the worst thing ever, everyone agreed. Now, they're not that bad and never were. Baby steps, but first steps always are.

It's not really that surprising that the time historians are able to look at him like an ordinary human being aligns with the time the last people who devoted their lives to fighting him are dying.

This SS being applauded in Parliament is like in Lord of the Rings:

"Merry and Pippin were brought to Fangorn, and their coming was like the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche in the mountains."

And the next part goes:

"A thing is about to happen which has not happened since the Elder Days: the Ents are going to wake up and find that they are strong."
