In all fairness Time Magazine and FDR also celebrated Hitler in the same time.

No one around in 1938 could have imagined what the future held for the Nazis so I tend not to worry about who did or did not approve of Hitler prior to the war.

What matters is who approved of the SOB after the war started.

And while you know full well I am not a fan of the LDS church I absolutely must recognize the contributions in blood and flesh that so many young LDS men made to victory against Hitler.

And a hearty dose of John Moses Browning to his lousy Reich.

"No one?"?????

Yes, to be fair, many in Christianity didn't stand up to Hitler or the Nazis, either, at that time.

But you're off-base is claiming "no one":

1937

You can read missionary-author E. Stanley Jones' clarion call to oppose the Nazis in The Choice Before Us.

Or try even earlier May, 1934

The Barmen Declaration or The Theological Declaration of Barmen 1934 (Die Barmer Theologische Erklärung) was a document adopted by Christians in Nazi Germany who opposed the Deutsche Christen (German Christian) movement. In the view of the delegates to the Synod that met in the city of Barmen in May, 1934, the German Christians had corrupted church government by making it subservient to the state and had introduced Nazi ideology into the German Protestant churches that contradicted the Christian gospel. The Barmen Declaration rejects (i) the subordination of the Church to the state (8.22–3) and (ii) the subordination of the Word and Spirit to the Church. "8.27 We reject the false doctrine, as though the Church in human arrogance could place the Word and work of the Lord in the service of any arbitrarily chosen desires, purposes, and plans." On the contrary, The Declaration proclaims that the Church "is solely Christ's property, and that it lives and wants to live solely from his comfort and from his direction in the expectation of his appearance." (8.17)...One of the main purposes of the Declaration was to establish a three-church confessional consensus opposing pro-nazi "German Christianity". These three churches were Lutheran, Reformed, and United.

I tend to ignore his posts, they are a constant drug beat against all things Mormons.

If one cares to know the other side of the coin, read about Helmuth Hübener, a Mormon boy in Germany who took on the Nazis, distributing pamphlets against them, etc, and was killed by the Nazis for standing against them. There have been documentaries about him and his LDS friends who dared to do it. You can read about him here.

Mein Kampf was published in 1925. Pretty big red flags there that would have to be ignored to support Hitler. It might be more that the supporters were naive and not partners in evil but they were fools nonetheless.
