As a German how do you view Nazi Germany? Surely it was a golden period of German history considering how much support it had?

For 12 years. That's a very short timespam for a German state. And it has very little support today, so your information is outdated.

I hear Kim Jong Un is a great leader as well, don't you know how popular he is in North Korea?

I don't. And if your knowledge about North Korea has the same quality as your knowledge about Germany, then you don't know either.

Right but by your own logic in 1939 it was moral to discriminate against Jews.

Kim Jong Un is basically universally loved in North Korea btw, as is Fidel Castro in Cuba, Vladimir Putin in Russia etc
