A strong sense of cultural German Nationalism came with German unification, as described correctly at your link, but Pike never had the word "nazi" to use to decribe anything in these alleged predictions attributed to him.
The Pike letter is a fake if presented as an alleged direct quote. The predictions while certainly true with the benefit of hindsight may be drawn from a later interpretative paraphrase, perhaps one that may have appeared in William Guy Carr's book "Pawn on the Game" (1959). I recall Carr having made these same kinds of "predictions" in that book.

Sounds reasonable...I agree with your insights....
