    It sounds like the constitution defines Nazism in narrower terms than I expected. That’s a shame.

      You seem to be misunderstanding both the quote and the comment! No offense, i can see how it could be confusing.

      What Krah said was meant in a historical context. Kind of a “not all SS-members were criminals”, basically downplaying the Nazis crimes.

      The commenter sarcastically called him “totally not a nazi” for that statement.

      No, there is no definition of Nazism in the Grundgesetz.
