They had just escaped a conflict between the USSR (which was still in a civil war between Soviets and non-Soviets) and Romania for control of their homes.  
We lost a lot of cousins to the second world war, some in mass graves. But they mostly died at the hands of the Romanians.  The Romanians dug a trench, stripped them naked, had them stand next to the trench, then shot them so they fell into the trench, one naked body on top of another. You can find similar stories of minorities getting killed by Poles, Serbs, Bulgarians, Hungarians, etc. These Romanians were not Nazis. They did not believe in German racial superiority. They were not patriotic towards Germany. They did not have any unified ideology about representative government versus dictatorship, or private economy versus public, or freedom of trade versus autarky.  Some of them really hated Jews, but it was mostly Jews near the border with Ukraine who got killed - because these Jews were believed to be more friendly towards Russian / Ukrainian/Soviets. Jews living closer to the center of Romania tended to survive the second world war. German troops did transit through Romania and they did advise Romanian troops, but Jews in Romania only died if the Romanian army wanted them to die.

So what you're saying, effectively, is that because Eastern European countries engaged in genocide it's perfectly fine to insinuate that a poster on this message board is a Nazi. See, you turn yourself around so badly with your hubris that you end up in a morally bankrupt conclusion then you have to double down to try and talk your way out of it. It's never acceptable to call the people of this community Nazis, it's a bridge too far. Period.

I'm saying it's bizzarre, in this context, for you to focus on genocide when someone mentions Nazis. 
RJ  compared JJ's repeated and bald faced lying to what a Nazi would do.  He said 'you are lying like a Nazi'.  He did not say 'you are murdering innocent people like a Nazi' or 'you are overthrowing duly elected governments like a Nazi'.  You're overreacting.
If I say, "Florida sports god cooks like my mother," I'm not saying that he works the stove while wearing a polyester dress and an old pink apron.  I'm not saying that he ever gave birth or breastfed anyone.  I'm just complimenting his cooking.
