opebo, There are a couple of problems with your analysis. First, the Nazi were not crusty. They were not the von Romsteins and the barons and the grafs. Sure, those old Prussian aristocrats jumped aboard after the federal elections of 1932, but the NSDAP was grassroots and humble in origin. It wasn't top-down policy making originally, but quite the opposite. Secondly, the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants were around long before the first Bavarian beer hall putsch. A serious xenophobic, nativist Yankee WASP empresario could do better than call himself a Nazi. I submit that this is just nouveau bourgeois white trash exploiting poor white trash, and not some conspiracy of elitist fascists such as one finds in the Trilateral Commision and the Princeton Alumni Club. They would be better off with a French name than a German one.
