Even in the 30s, Hollywood was afraid to make movies that were overtly anti-Nazi, because their films were still shown in Germany.

There’s a story of a scene in one late 30s film depicting a German soldier in a bad light and Louis B Mayer calling the director in to his office and saying “What do you think you’re doing? We’re not making hate films here. We have theaters in Germany.”

Yes, I've read about that. The more things change...
