In 1941, the Communists were our allies against Fascism.

  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.
