Plenty in the West were sympathetic to the Nazisame and their view Henry Ford was a major supporter of theirs.
Before the war there was a lot of admiration for the Nazis because they managed to make Germany the first nation to recover from the Depression.
Keep in mind that in the US and (to some extent) UK they also had extra sympathy over the unfair and punitive conditions of the Versailles Treaty that were amplified when France and Belgium invaded and occupied the Ruhr...something that was by any measure an act of war against Germany.
While I don't agree with these men who sided with the Germans I can understand their being beguiled by the highly effective Nazi propaganda to the point where they saw National Socialism as something their own country could benefit from.
And they were not alone because, interestingly, a lot of the Nazi Party's ideas were adopted by the West and among those ideas were:
* Nationalized health care
* A guaranteed supplemental income for retired people
* Limited access and nationwide expressways for auto travel
* Gun control (Notoriously the 1968 US Gun Control law in some parts borrows heavily from Nazi law).
* Central control over education
* Mass surveillance
* Infrastructure projects as an economic stimulus and as a means of garnering public support for government
To a lesser extent some countries in the West have even provided vacations to workers which is an echo of the
Strength Through Joy program that provided vacations to millions of Germans before and during the war.
