> Of course it's true that the Nazis wanted something very close to the EU Even that isn't remotely true. The Nazis wanted an empire based on military conquest, with the imposition of the will of the "superior Arian race" on the other "inferior races"; the territories where those inferior races lived should have been colonized by Germans (lebensraum) and the original inhabitants should have become slaves, be relocated elsewhere, or just be exterminated. Can you tell me which part of this is close to the EU?

There is nothing in nazism that is about unifying the EU, just as there is nothing in right-wing skepticism that is about a superior race. Thats the point. Just like the fact that the nazis did have a dream of a unified europe also politically doesn't have anything to do with the EU we see today, the fact that some right wing party was started by someone with nazi sympathy does not mean thats why people vote for them today. I don't know how to make the argument much clearer to you.
