I remember back in high school, (and no the blackboards were not cave paintings) we spent maybe 2 days on WW2 in Social Studies, maybe 10 minutes total on Canada's involvement. I can't imagine they have increased that content much since '86. I have friends my own age who didn't even realize Canadians fought and died in Afghanistan. I can't imagine some junior government staffer straight out of computer/communications/business school would barely know what a nazi is, images of white nationalist goons protesting, god knows what, marching through US cities waving swastika flags is probably a fair amount of young folks perception of nazis. Not that the mistake can or should be justified, it was stupid and shows a lack of any kind of oversight. These days it doesn't really matter what the mistake is, it just seems to matter which side made it. I can't imagine the red hats can be too far behind
