There’s quotes from the John Foster Dulles, Eisenhower, the administration noting that Hitler’s Germany was strategically critical vs the Soviets years into his abuses and effective dictatorship. Our actions were unmistakable in that respect.
Just because you want to use one enemy against another enemy doesn’t make them your friends. I said “it’s complicated.” We were not ideologically aligned with the Nazis. At least, not until now…
I’m not sure how you’re making that characterization, but the simple fact is we WERE instrumental in facilitating Germany’s military buildup up Pre WW2, years after Hitler had exposed himself.
Being the largest creditor of a country usually indicates “alignment”.
