United States did actually support Hitler up to a point. USSR boycotted the Olympics in 1936 - United States participated. IBM sold stuff to Hitler, as did Ford and General Motors. Henry Ford was a big fan of Hitler, and his views on the Jews. The US-Nazi Germany trade did not fully cease until 1941, about the same time when Soviet trade with Nazi Germany ceased because Germany broke the pact and attacked. In fact, as far as I can tell, all European countries without any exceptions traded with Hitler all the way until at least 1939, or in some cases even later. Some nominally "neutral" countries, such as the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and some others, traded with Nazi Germany throughout the war. Your point is?
