nazi germany 

someone changed the intro of nazi germany from the original which is better:
Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are common names for Germany during the period from 1933 to 1945, when its government was controlled by Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers' Party, commonly known as the Nazi Party. Under Hitler's rule, Germany was transformed into a totalitarian state where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the state.

to this:

Under Hitler's rule, Germany was transformed into a fascist totalitarian state where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the state through hierarchical institutions.
