On the contrary, the Nazis really were special!  They had no
monopoly on genocide or totalitariansism, but what other
genodicers did these things:

  - Made lampshades out of the skins of people they killed.

  - Performed sadistic "medical" experiments on a fairly large scale,
    on their victims.

  - Strangest of all: diverted ag reat deal of resources needed to
    win WW II, in order to more efficiently hound and kill their Jewish
    captive populations?


Evil totalitarian governments could sneak up on any country that
is not watching for them, but I doubt we shall ever see nazi Germany's
like again.
