English translation:this enables the analysis of Nazi propaganda to be looked at ...
Explanation:
.. from a point of view that is critical of the regime.

Or something along those lines.

The German looks poorly expressed to me - I don't imagine that it is the Auseinandersetzung that is to be untersucht but more likely the NS Propaganda itself (my guess is that the Untersuchung and the Auseinandersetzung are more or less the same thing).

(makes possible) the analysis of historical texts expressing a critical view of NS propaganda


Explanation:
So läßt sich z.B. die Auseinandersetzung mit der NS-Propaganda aus regimekritischer Sicht untersuchen.

As the text stands, it can only mean

(makes possible) the analysis of historical texts/opinions expressing a critical view of NS propaganda.

One could also interpret it as "makes possible the analysis of how critics of the regime dealt with/reacted to the NS propaganda" but I think that's less likely (unless further context points to that interpretation).


If "Auseinandersetzung" and "untersuchen" were the same, I would have expected something else than "aus regimekritischer Sicht untersuchen" because how else should/could one analyse it ?
