Lack of knowledge among the opinion makers of today vs. not a central theme of Nazi thought
Hard to tell which is more important to explaining your observation—I lean towards the latter, but couldn’t explain why in any formal way. Vegetarianism seems to have performed a similar memetic escape.
Well, vegetarianism was a ‘quirk’ (I’d like a synonym without negative connotations but I can’t think of one right now) of Hitler himself which AFAIK he didn’t try to enforce on anyone else, so I don’t think it counts.
