Are you sure the AFD isn't just going around saying "nuh uh , Hitler was actually a socialist"? That doesn't get rid of German guilt, that's just an unconvincing attempt to push the ball over to other Germans.
Sounds like something some would say. But it's quite different entirely, they simply don't believe in hereditary guilt for anything.
You don't have to pretend that everything your country's government has ever done was good to not believe in 'guilt'.
At least with the far right in Japan, they don't try to pretend imperial Japan was leftist . They are more like "yes imperial japan is right wing but we don't care, actually instead we are going to bitch about how America threw out all the far right wing Japanese from politics and media after ww2"
Eh, it's Euro-American cope to pretend that Nazis were left-wing. They've been equated with 'evil', so one side tries to pin it on the other and vice versa.

And what's the non-cope reason they weren't socialist
