Those "white nationalists" are opposed to racial harmony.
Like Hitler, who blamed Germany's post WWI problems on the Jews, these white supremacy groups all believe that the nation's ills are in our belief that all men are created equal without regard to race, religion or nation of origin. Mostly religion and race. Most of those losers feel that Jewish people are a separate race, rather than a religious denomination.
They fall back on Hitler because they all have similar goals.....the elimination of everyone who is not white and Christian. An unrealistic and troublesome goal, to be sure.
Of course, we all know that Hitler was wrong, since Germany's post WWI problems were due to the fact that the world didn't want them getting uppity again, which they did anyway, under Hitler. He chose Jews because they were powerful and a minority. His government plundered them and persecuted them as supposed "proof" that they were inferior.

Because he is a rallying point, a figurehead for what they stand for.
Lots of ideas and movements have a spiritual figurehead. For example (and choosing something nice), Martin Luther King is a figurehead for the civil rights movement in the United States.
Che Guevara, because of the iconic poster, is a figurehead for teen rebellion.
Hitler knew his market well. He attracted the disaffected males in Germany, which was going through a very rough period. He offered them a sense of belonging, pride, brotherhood and more. There was no accident to the heavy use of symbolism in Nazism. It was the club badge.
He exploited the hopeless young men. He used their physical threat to gain political power.
Today, hopeless disaffected males still see him as a figurehead for a time and a place when they believe young white men had something to belong to and dream in.
All an illusion. He killed his original thugs, right up to the leader of the brownshirts, Ernst Rohm. He used them and once he had attained power, he did away with them.
The white nationalists don't seem to get that at all. The irony is lost on them.
I am not sure many of them really understand Nazism at all. It was never a very clear ideology. Mein Kampf itself is a very confused and rambling text, unlike the (however flawed) intellectual depth of say, Marx's Das Capital.
They believe in the figure itself. How sad.
Peace.

Hitler was one of the most successful hatemongers in history. He took over the government of a powerful nation and used its resources to kill millions of people from groups he deemed inferior. Today's white nationalists hate many of the same people Hitler hated (Jews and gays, for example), so they look up to him as someone who succeeded in doing what they would like to do.

i don't understand. i exchange into watching movies with regard to the Holocaust and oh God it exchange into so unhappy the Jews that Hitler kill have been very skinny I advise they supply the impact of being like skeletons. i won't be able to even clarify the movies it exchange into in basic terms poor. i don't understand how can everybody idolize a grimy, merciless, criminal like Hitler. i might call him a animal yet i don't decide to offend animals.
