"It is my recollection, though, that the Nazi Party did not become the hated party that it became until later in the 1930s, after the invasion of Poland."

Absolutely true among a lot of respectable and important people in both our countries. What's a little persecution of Jews and STrades Unionists and so forth matter when the man wasn't interfering with making money?

"Premature anti-fascist" was the term coined in the USA later to refer to the kind of people who tried to make a fuss about that kind of thing.

The same way when Saddam was gassing Kurds and waging aggressive war and persecuting his opponents, that wasn't a matter for the same kind of people to worry about, until he invaded Kuwait and threatened profits.
