It was definitely a "bad thing" in 1939. You do realize that concentration camps had been up and running since 1933, right? So yeah, working for the CIA is just like working for a party that was exterminating millions in camps.
If you don't understand how that type of hyperbole poisons discussions, I don't know what to say.

You realize the camps were not exterminating people until after the Wannsee Conference in January of 1942, right? That isn't to say the Nazis weren't murdering people before then, but mass murders didn't start until the war started and were generally committed by the Einsatzkommando units in the field. As for the racial policies of the Nazi Party, there was a disturbing amount of support for them outside of Germany prior to the war. Still, Nazi metaphors are almost always an unnecessary hyperbole.
