No. Racialism is the prime mover of Nazi ideology: the jewish chicken lays bolshevik eggs.
I’ve only had a chance to watch the first half of the first part, but it seems definitely worth a look; thanks for posting the link. I was going to say earlier that the INA’s impact was much more profound after the war once there was no longer an external threat from the Axis and Britain’s days of colonial rule over India were clearly numbered. The decision to hold the trials of the INA leaders at the Red Fort was colossally stupid. The INA were fools though if they thought “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” and the Japanese intended to use them as anything other than tools and bought into any of the Japanese Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere propaganda. There was going to be no Co-Prosperity in the GEACPS; it was going to be colonial rule by the Japanese with treatment of the locals much harsher than it had been even under the British, Dutch and French. The bulk of the INA was formed from Indian POWs taken in the fall of Singapore; the Indian POWs taken there who didn’t sign on with the INA were eventually sent to work on the constructing the Railroad of Death, the Thai-Burma railroad which the Japanese constructed at the cost of the lives of over 100,000 mostly Burmese and Malayan forced laborers and Allied POWs.
What’s interesting is some of the interviews.
Many of the Indians were clearly aware that they could fight as British colonists or just exchange to a different colonial master that would likely be worse. But some were persuaded by smooth talkers selling them the bill of goods they desired, free India.
