"The American chargé d’affaires in Berlin wrote Washington in 1933 that the hope for Germany lay in “the more moderate section of the [Nazi] party, headed by Hitler himself…which appeal[s] to all civilized and reasonable people,” and seems to have “the upper hand” over the violent fringe.

In 1937, the State Department saw Fascism as compatible with U.S. economic interests.

A report of the European Division explained its rise as the natural reaction of “the rich and middle classes, in self-defense” when the “dissatisfied masses, with the example of the Russian revolution before them, swing to the Left.” Fascism therefore “must succeed or the masses, this time reinforced by the disillusioned middle classes, will again turn to the left.” Not until European Fascism attacked U.S. interests directly did it become an avowed enemy."
