That doesn't seem quite right to me.  Would wizards be taking sides 
in a Muggle war?  It seems more plausible that Grindelwald would be 
stirring up war, perhaps to try to reduce the Muggle population on 
both sides, and Dumbledore to stop it.  Even WWII wasn't a struggle 
between Good and Evil.

That wouldn't necessarily make Hitler equivalent to Churchill or 
Roosevelt - just that he was more amenable to being led by Dark Arts

David, hoping JKR doesn't go there
