re:" I thought we only sent weapons to England/France." As France was defeated before the U.S. entered the war, very little military aid probably went to the French. re:"Certainly, the American elites welcomed the Fascist movement until it got out of control, because it showed great potential to break the Labor movement that they feared more than life itself." FDR was running the United States for 9 years before U.S. entry into WW2. Labor (and its leadership) was a major component of his support base. If you look at history, you will find that fascist movements and socialist movements are populist movements after the same constituents...labor. The difference was that Communists were against all the "privilaged elite", while Nazis were against the "jewish elite".
