Actually yes, in Germany that is pretty much the talking point. Recently a prominent AfD politician spoke out against inclusion of disabled children in normal school classes. The media reaction was pretty much "just like in 1939!!!".
It is probably THE reason why there has never been a successful far-right political party in Germany (until now) after '45, while there have been in Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, etc.
Here in Spain we eliminated special classes for disabled children and put them in the normal classes.
The obvious result: everybody is worse off. Disabled children are not properly accommodated and the performance of the rest of children suffers because of everything going slower. And all the responsibility of dealing with the situation falls on the teachers, who aren't adequately equipped.
No need to be a nazi or anything to see why that's a bad idea. Of course, the left destroying public education is nothing new.
Anyway, back to your comment: we were talking about the perception of Germany from outside Germany.
