I think Wikipedia needs to clarify Nazi Germany's totalitarian form of government. I believe the term "Hitlerite" should be used instead of "nazi", as "nazi" has lost its meaning in modern times. Something like Unitary totalitarian Hitlerist dictatorship. This is a community consensus request. 186.188.240.30 (talk) 16:39, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit the name section to include the etymology for the term “Nazi”, added before the line which Hitler and the Nazis also referred to as the "Thousand-Year Reich". Should be something along the lines of “the term Nazi Germany in the English speaking world comes from a shortening of Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, the German name for the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, which led the country at the time.

I am unsure that is true, as the word seems to pre-date the rise of the national socialist party. Slatersteven (talk) 13:11, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Soviets should be mentioned in the first-paragraph synopsis

The thing is that the Western Allies (unfortunately) weren't able to reach Berlin before the Soviets (which were technically in cooperation with the Western Allies, but Stalin had other ideas for postwar Europe) got there first. 149.50.160.192 (talk) 13:25, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
