A
very simplified version of history.
The biggests thing missing in that
tale :
WHY and
The context.
Without the knowledge of thoses 2 things, someone may still belive that tale, with that knowledge it more difficult.
In my opinion using the word
good and
bad for the billigerent of WW2, is innappropriate ( but this may come from readding enough Nietzche's book)
