In 1941, the Communists were our allies against Fascism.

It't not really about Nazism though is it. I only read the first page and it seems to just a big list of positive and negative character traits.
The well-balanced and happy folks would never go Nazi, the folks with flaws would.

Please keep generic ideological tangents off HN. I realize that's hard to do with an article like this, but that actually makes it more important.
Generic ideological tangents guarantee predictable flamewars, so they are the black holes we most need to eschew.

Dorothy Thompson was one of if not the most famous American journalist of the 1930s and 40s. She's largely forgotten now, but is sure to be rediscovered.

Only as of October of 1941, at best. If you read many contemporary accounts, Red peril is nearly as significant as Nazi, and isolationist sentiments were strong until the German declaration of war.
It's forgotten that the worst excesses of Nazism were concealed for years, and kicked into high gear in the wake of Barbarossa. Also how widespread and mainstream anti-Semitism and belief in eugenics were in the inter-war period.
