Including support from many U.S. Fortune 500 companies, or their CEOs.

That part usually gets left out of the histories.

The German citizens enthusiastically supporting the Nazis regime is parallel to the 4.5 out of 10 Americans currently allied to MAGA and Qanon and bad-faith Republicans.

Your point is well taken.
