Political prisoner camps were loosely inspired by stalin’s gulags, and the role of Big Brother supposedly came from a quote by Lenin (something along the lines of “truth is what the communist party says”).
History/memory warping (news speak) reconstructs reality for the citizens of Oceania, and their emotions are also manipulated to benefit the party and support their totalitarian agenda (2 minutes of hate/spies). All of which plays into the worship theme you mentioned above.
Although i didn’t reference Nazi Germany, hopefully this connects to your research relative to 1984; coincidentally just read this for a course last week so felt obligated to add something to the discussion haha
