My original post about Hitler was in response to Thomas' observation that the US State Dept was praising Hitler even as late as l937. <<< That the US enthusiastically supported Mussolini from the moment of the fascist takeover in 1922 is not at all controversial; he was "that admirable Italian gentleman" (as FDR called him), who destroyed unions, eliminated the parliamentary system, imposed a fascist regime that opened the country to US investment (which flooded in), etc. "The wops are unwopping themselves," as an enthusiastic article in "Fortune" put it in 1934. US/UK support for Hitler was more nuanced and complex, but real enough. As late as 1937, the US State Department was describing Hitler as a "moderate" defending righteousness against the extremes of right and left (like a host of other gangsters, large and small). >>> Was there anything positive about Hitler's regime from 33 to 40?
