I don't think venerating Nazism is all that strange since the core of racial nationalism is pretty ubiquitous. In Nazi Germany, of course, notions of racial supremacism (which I figure was more a tool of mobilizing the work force) and "Germany for Germans" (a more modest political notion) existed side by side. Nazism, to these other nationalists, represent a nation that was successful in their eyes of attaining that national racial purity and, therefore, something to aspire to. In short, I suppose, national conservatism is not necessarily national supremacism.
