There were a shitload of European conservatives who saw the fascists as reviving national pride and that they were in reality a very good movement for doing so.
Hitler did not pin an Iron Cross on him for designing the assembly line, buck-o.
There were a significant number of Communists in the Interwar USA. The Stalinists were very different than the Nazis. The difference can be seen in how Hitler allowed his troops to kill 1/4 of Belarus where the USSR strictly enforced the discipline of *their* conquering troops.
Actually it does, as I assure you that the German industrialists were not about to back Hitler if they were a bunch of Commies, they would have backed the KPD.
The actual American Left of Eugene V. Debs and the Wobblies liked Lenin's boys, not Hitler's.
Actually it's because a good number of them hated those Jews running the Soviet Union and didn't really care if Hitler's conquest of the USSR meant the extermination of all the Slavs and Gypsies and Jews in the Soviet Union, you can't cleanse society of those filthy Reds without a little bloodshed, after all.
