Actually, it isn't that far from truth. They influenced german nationalism. Allies even considered to ban the books after the war.

The Grimm brothers sought to see the multitude of German states united as one country and the folk tales they gathered was common for all the Germans, they figured it's work as some cohesive. Even stories like ‘Red Riding Hood’, told in varying versions in many languages, were thought by the Grimms to originate from ancient Germanic tales and they identified themes and incidents in Germanic mythology and legend that they believed were echoed in folk tales. The Nazis warmly approved of the Grimms’ work, which, as Professor Jack Zipes puts it in his book on the brothers, they exploited ‘to uphold the racist and nationalist supremacy of the German people’.

Funny since most of their tales (including Little Red Riding Hood) were straight up copypasted from Charles Perrault.

Apparently, you can't distinguish between the literal, and the figurative.
