Exactly. The comparison is absurd! The OP's question is just plain stupid.
Yes Nazi's killed millions but the confederacy promoted a system of slavery and abuse, the argument that we were no worse than the Nazi's is weak. Both flags are symbolic of brutal regimes.

If you are referring to Sherman's brutal and merciless destruction of the civilian South, that was that other flag, not the flag of the Confederacy.
The Confederacy flag represented southern way of life rather than slavery.... The Nazi flag represents oppression of non-white races... only a liberal wouldn't understand... they can't separate the South with slavery... they have no fear of the UK flag which oppressed Americans for years...
Southerners: Why is the Nazi flag considered offensive but the Confederate flag is not?
Neither are offensive.
Do you consider the US Flag offensive? More innocent people have been killed by the US armed forces than by those who fought under the Confederate flag.

Slavery existed under the US Flag for 80 years and under the Confederate flag for only five.

Brutal regimes? Are you for real? The USA had government sanctioned slavery for 80 years. Was that also a "brutal regime?"
You will not find any claims of white supremacy from Jefferson Davis or Lee. .
Oh, but Davis did, numerous times. In his Jefferson Davis Speech to the Mississippi Legislature his claim is that abolition is a violation of their Constitutional right to be free to enslave "Lower thinking Africans." His argument for slavery is both economic and blatantly racist. You should read it.
