If a German politician wants to end a discussion quickly he will just mention that the Nazis did it that way.
The German version of "Think of the children/what about terrorists"
Except that in Germany too, "think of the children" will get you a lot of people agreeing with your position - whereas mentioning Hitler, the Nazis and the 3rd Reich in a way that could be interpreted as positive or comparing contemporary political figures to Hitler and the Nazis will heavily damage or even end your political career (see Herta Daeubler-Gmelin and others).
