Hitler wasn't fascist in name, he was National Socialist.
"National Socialism" was just a name. He was the
definitive fascist. He understood Germany better than anyone else. He knew its true heritage and defining psyche were to be found in its distant, pre-Christian history. By conjuring them up and rebirthing them in the modern age, he proved to be the ultimate traditionalist, the
consummate reactionary. He resurrected an ancient, barbarian tribe, which armed itself with the most advanced warfare technology, specifically for the purpose of
smashing modern civilization. And Hitler
almost pulled it off.
