I think you might have missed the fact that the entire Empire in the original trilogy was not only based on Nazis but also had German military names (Stormtroopers/Stoßtruppen) and most of the costumes were based on recycled German uniform designs.

Of course we always fall into the trope of conflagrating Nazis with the Wermacht (and other factions) which in many cases were different and held different ideologies and moral standards.
