It doesn't even say how many would vote Nazi themselves.
If you asked people in the UK whether the BNP would gain seats in an election, quite a few would say yes.
Doesn't mean they'd vote for them.
Quite true but the interesting thing is how many think that now compared to say five, ten or twenty years ago.
It wouldn't surprise me if more people think the BNP will gain seats now than some years ago.
It could be the same in Austria re the Nazi's chances at elections. Perhaps it was unthinkable to even suggest it 20 years ago but due to a concern over the re-emergence of the far right perhaps the Austrian poll reflects that.
What we don't have is an equivalent poll from years ago to compare it with.
As for whether life was "not all bad" under the Nazis, some things, whilst immensely outweighed by the bad, some things would have been good ... full employment, trains running on time etc.
Same applies to virtually all governments. They are bound to get something right, even the Tories (though not full employment or reliable public transport of course!).
Lübeck was stripped of its centuries-old independence in 1937 by you-know-who, who was pîssed at the city for refusing to let him hold an election rally there in 1932.
