I guess the way we look back at Nazi Germany.
Hitler had the almost exact same propaganda going, and he even got the Nobel Peace Prize...
Misinformation, Hitler didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, he was nominated as a joke: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hitler-nominated-nobel-peace-prize/
Too soon.
No, he didn't. He was nominated ironically by one politician.
Read the article to understand the point he was trying to make.
Well today i learned, hitler was nominated for a nobel peace prize in 1939, but it was more a tongue in cheeck nomination

But the irony was lost on people, ans the nomination was withdrawn at the last moment, ans regardless no peace prize was ever awarded for 1939 due to ww2 breaking out
He did not get the peace prize. Literally anyone can be "nominated" for a prize, it's an open nomination process. But he did get Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 1938.
Kinda like how we're all Time's Person of the Year for 2006
