Yes. The Nazis and a lot of traditional right wing at the time completely underestimated their opponents. They acted weak and honorable when they should have absolutely destroyed them with no mercy. Optics have always been a problem for the right. The left accuses the right of exactly what the right ought to be and then the right gets scared of being what the left said they were. The left is clever in this way. Hitler should have pulverized Britain to a pulp.
