What's the point of being "pro-Hitler"? the fucker is dead. And has been for ages. He's not taking back the power. I would understand "Hitler-sympathizer", but being pro-Hitler? You're a century late, buddy.
What's the difference between a pro- and a -sympathizer?
I guess it's a subtle difference. Perhaps it's just something that I think, and I'm not a native English speaker. It just sounds weird to me. being anti-Hitler would also be weird. He's already gone. Being pro-nazi or anti-nazi would make more sense(in my head)
Substitute Hitler for a religious figure. Yes, I know, religious figures at least have mythology surrounding them to explain why they're still relevant. Anyone could just make that up about Hitler too though.
