No. Both the Nazis and the Soviets were a lot of authoritarian bastards. The mistake of WWII was that they stopped after Berlin. They should've kept going to Moscow and spread Stalin's cheeks with a Sherman.
Not really. Most germans were sick of Jewish bullshit, and fully supported the Nazi regime. Germany itself was authoritarian. That's why the Gestapo only had 7k members at its peak.
Germany was/is used to authority. The concept of democracy and freedom didn't naturally occur there and is anathema to the german mindset. Democracy was forced down their throats twice. And you can still see it today in that there is very little actual resistance to anything the government does because "the government is the law"
