Ah, so Tony's PTSD made you wonder what had happened in Avengers 1? I also liked that aspect of it, as well as various other things about the movie which I had felt were lacking from IM1 and 2. IM1 was just a straight up fun movie. IM2 was... a rehash, and less fun. IM3 was great again, and you could trace his character growth through them (and then wonder what had happened to change him so).
You're not alone in conflating Hydra and Nazis, and yeah they do function that way in large part. I get all my information from Twitter, where people point out that Cap was ALWAYS punching Nazis, and were very upset that he'd been working for Hydra b/c this was NOT WHAT HE WAS ABOUT...
I kind of see his attempt to find his way forward in a moral way a kind of version of Tony's PTSD since Tony had been jaded since childhood and the same plotline would never have worked for him. Oh they're complete opposites. Bit like Spike & Angel. (With Spike as Tony and Angel as Cap, obvs.)
