The "industrial machine of Germany in the 1930's and 1940's" was no more fascist than it was in the 1900's and 1910's or in the 1990's and 2000's. The Deutsche Bank got along very well with every capitalist political regime. If the Hitlerites (who never called themselves fascists) were fascists, so are the Salafists of Saudi Arabia.
