People of countries that were neutral in WW2,how do you perceive the war?

I'm Italian,and my country fought in WW2. But I know that some nations in Europe (Spain,Portugal,Switzerland,Sweden,Ireland) were neutral.

So my question is: people of these countries,how do you perceive Hitler and the nazis?Do you see them and the whole WW2 as something far away,more or less like the Vietnam War? Or do you thing that your opinion is not so different from that of Italians,French,Germans,…?

Sorry if there are any mistakes in my English

P.s. I'm referring to young people who were born many decades after the war,not people who were alive in that period
