I believe that there was a small minority at that time who would have welcomed Hitler as our ruler. They were treated with disdain and even hatred by the majority. Some were even interned for the duration or even longer.
I really despise the way some Boomer Brexiters try to grab credit for what happened nearly eighty years for themselves and imply Brexit is a similarly noble cause.
Your decision to abandon our friends and allies has nothing to do with World War 2, nor are those who disagree with you traitors and quislings who need to be interned to keep them quiet.
To imply such a comparison is the usual ludicrous claptrap and shows up those Brexiters implying it as ridiculous, out of touch fantasists, who imagine they are saving our country while destroying it.
To compare the EU with Nazism is absurd. You find a lot more extreme right wing facist thinking among the Brexiters. Just read some of the posts on this forum for examples.

The EU are not our friends or Allies.
They run the EU for themselves.
Germany does not even pay it's dues to NATO.

Your absolute subservience and unquestioning servility to the EU is frightening.
As is your complete inability to accept that many UK voters have not materially benefitted from the UK's membership of the EU.
No doubt you have and that's all that matters!!

Anyone who knocks another UK citizen for having pride , usually tinged with sadness and regret, at the sacrifices our ancestors were forced to make as a result of the political ambitions and excesses of our European neighbours.....twice in the last century.....is a sad and dangerous individual and should be called out for their traitorous attitude.
EU chauvinism is no more desirable than any other type of chauvinism.
