    Reminds my of a great documentary I saw a while back called "The Architecture of Doom", by Swedish filmmaker Peter Cohen. Essentially it takes the position that Nazi Germany wasn't a political movement so much as an aesthetic one, how it stemmed from Hitler's youth as a failed artist, and how the obsession with order, cleanliness, and a very rigid visual schema was ultimately the result of the artistic persona run amok. Very interesting film, and very chilling.
