I am saying that the majority the people
in conquered nations supported Hitler.
I was only pointing out Facism was not limited
to Germany and that in fact has significant
support throughout Europe.
In fact in the 30s the Facists almost
took power in France.
France was almost on Germany's side form the
start of the war!

"France was almost on Germany's side form the start of the war!"

Hardly. Theone and only chance of French fascists to topple the Republic was in February 1934, when huge riots could have stormed the Congress if it hadn't been for the fact that the largest political movement involved, the Croix de Feu (crosses of fire), didn't want to overthrow the Republic but to reform it.

In reaction, the Left won huge popular support in the 1936 elections, and installed social reforms, slowing down the modernization of the army and the procurements for the Air Force.

The Socialist government (called the Popular Front), in turn lost popular support at the National Assembly and from 1937 till 1940 France was governed by a Centrist government.
