I don't have a thread at hand to prove it, but I'm quite sure other 
people were drawing this parallele before and discussing it. The 
master-race (purebloods/aryan)idea surely suggests this comparison.
 
I don't really want to get into this. Just a warning: if you are 
starting a discussion on such an emotion-loaden topic, you might want 
to carefully double-check what you are saying.

As far as I know the Hitler's mother being Jewish is an Urban Legend. 
Also could you maybe explain how the war in the book (which one, the 
first or second V.mort war?) is similar to WWII? I surely missed that 
in the books.
