  Because going to Germany in the 1930s to soak up the kultur implies some pretty unsavory sympathies.

It's not quite Wodehouse broadcasting from internment bad, but it doesn't look good.

It was kind of the California of Europe in that regard. The Nazis did pick up the clean living aesthetic but it was more about being German than about being fascist
