I unironically think it probably played a role. When I was growing up (and History Channel showed WWII history), it was generally just understood and accepted that Nazis were evil scum and Hitler was one of the worst people in the 20th century. It wasn't even up for debate.

It's probably more about the sabotaging of our public education system, but I think this is actually part of that.
