Wait a second -- this may make some sense in the German context, but Fascism preceded the 1930s, its philosophers were Croce and Gentile, and insofar as it they "enriched" it with a philosophical basis it was with reference to Hegel (going by the extremely little I know about Italian philosophy).
(Personally I suspect that Adorno was alarmed by the close similarities between his thought and that of Heidegger.)
