That's interesting - I've wondered about that too. Not just about Nazis though - I think it's a perennial theme. If you hold Love at the 12 o'clock position (in highest awareness) then its opposite, Power, will be at the 6 o'clock position (in the unconscious half of awareness). Whilst unconscious it will knock around causing trouble, until brought into consciousness and integrated. That's why in voluntary organisations/charities/educationsl/spiritual settings you so often get tremendous power battles - because Love (doing good, the wellbeing of others etc) - is at the top. You see more bad behaviour of people towards each other than you do in organisations where power is recognised and dealt with. Think of people who have gone into spiritual settings in order to just focus on that one aspect in their lives - and met power problems there (for instance an overbearing Mother Superior). It seems we can't get away from it. One example - Tony Blair sets himself up as an "honest kind of guy" (whilst you cringe at the mad 12th C crusader gleam in his eye) - and then gets hit by a "conman" scandal. Jung said: "it is not our business to create figures of light, but to make the darkness conscious. The latter however is more difficult, and therefore not popular". I think people will always try and move towards being figures of light - with resulting dangers of inflation and all manner of things. The Roman emperors used to have someone at their side reminding them that they were only human.
