It's inexplicable.
Two points. One, love is largely inexplicable. Therein lies the joy and danger. We do not proceed into a state of love logically. Two, the concept of the Nazi as the archetype of diabolical evil is largely a modern construct. During and before the war, being a Nazi was synonymous with being a German patriot or German nationalist. I am certain most Germans did not regard themselves as evil. If the Axis had won the war, our view would likely be different and we'd probably be discussing the racist apartheid pogroms against African-Americans from the point of view of German sanctimony. I'm no apologist for the Nazis and their ilk, but it is important to keep in mind the modern taint projected into history.
