Fuck off with this nationalist essentialism. Germans are products of a lifetime of experiences, just like every other human being on the planet. There’s not some magic portal to the fascist plane seeping dark energy under Berlin.
It doesn’t actually happen more often in Germany, though. Fascism was pioneered by Italy, and in more recent history there are several rightwing dictatorships in Europe that existed since at least 10 years ago. Fascists came into power in the USA just this year. Several of the more prosperous European countries either already have a far right government (Italy) or have a very sizable far right opposition.
