Anti-semitism of the kind that Hitler was spouting was very much a mainstream idea, not just in Germany and Austria but all across Europe and the US. Hitler was merely the most radical one that came to power.
It's easy to frame WWII as the battle between democracy and fascism, but the reality is a lot messier and more complicated than that.
