No that's not what I was trying to say. Almost the exact opposite.

I think, perhaps, we're talking past one another.

I was clearly not referring to any US anti-fascism movement or to anyone who wanted to intervene earlier to stop Hitler. I'm fairly sure I clarified that I am not sympathetic to Nazis. I wish they had never got a foothold and I wish they were stopped sooner.

I was referring to those in the US who materially and ideologically supported the fascists. If they had not got involved, the Nazis may not have got a foothold and they may have been stopped sooner.

The US did eventually help to end the war and defeat the Nazi party's rule. Commendable stuff.

The US state was motivated by a desire to stop the Soviets at Berlin, however, rather than to stop fascism. After the war, in the same spirit, the US intervened to rescue Nazis and install them in positions of power as a bulwark against communism. Rescuing 'ex'-Nazis and giving them command of NATO forces was a bad idea.

I thought this was clear in what I wrote before, but I see how some of it was implied rather than explicit.
