WWII parallel

[Steve Bates]

No: HPFGUIDX 991

When I read in Dumbledore's short bio in SS that he "defeated the 
dark wizard Grindlewold in 1945" (sorry if I didn't get the quote 
right--I am at college now and do not have the books at hand) I 
immediately thought of the parallel event happening in the Muggle 
world that same year--the defeat of Hitler.  Is it too much of a 
conclusion to jump to that WWII might have spilled over into the 
wizard world?  Perhaps Grindlewold [sp?] was aiding Hitler somehow--
didn't I hear somwhere that Hitler was very interested in the 
supernatural?
I don't know if JKR has given any kind of additional back story about 
this.  But at the very least, my idea would make an interesting 
starting point for a fanfic.
