I can buy Voller wanting to take out Hitler: the Fuehrer made a lot of bad calls and convincing him of the truth would be difficult (there’s a Czech comedy in which a group of Nazi officers go back and try but fail miserably). But yeah, why would everyone immediately appoint him Fuehrer? It’s not like they didn’t have a bunch of ambitious cutthroats who’d think “Hitler is dead! My time has come!”
As for the Nazis as generic villains, a friend of mine made the same point about the Soviets: in most movies they’re evil bad guys who hate America, no different from Hydra or SPECTRE, that’s all we need to know. I touched on the subject in a book I wrote a few years ago (Screen Enemies of the American Way).

Gonna wait to see if your questions come up. If not I’ll say ” Online, Brian Cronin wondered about..” and see if they feel the same.
