There is much to read and research about it - and ultimately it really depends on which historian you might settle upon to try and understand what might have transpired - since so many have differing interpretations - 'truths' and 'facts' around such issues - waaay back in history - and it is all rather complicated - if you look at it in depth -
There is an interesting historian on YouTube called TIK - that I have been looking at lately -
FASCISM DEFINED | The Difference between Fascism and National Socialism - YouTube
'History has been forgotten. Nobody seems to know what 'Fascism' actually is, or was, or means. And the word has degenerated into little more than a slur. Today though I'm going to use historical sources to accurately define what Fascism was, place it within the context of history, and explain why there was a difference between Fascism and National Socialism, and what that difference was. I'll be giving the technical definitions of both Fascism and Nazism, backed by references so you can double-check my work. Sources are listed in the links below. I'm NOT a Fascist, I'm NOT a Nazi, I'm NOT a Marxist, and I'm NOT racist or anything else. I do not support said evil ideologies and I'm not promoting them either. My goal here is to give as accurate an account of history as possible so that we may learn from our mistakes and prevent history from repeating.

Italian fascism was different compared with the German fascism.Mussolini didn't prosecute Jews like what the Nazis did.I saw a lecture on YT from an Israeli Rabbi about Mein Kampf which was translated into Hebrew.He said that the reason that Hitler started to prosecute the Jewish people, was the Russian Revolution, which was let by some Jewish men like Trotsky.The breakdown of Russian society by the communists was something that Hitler wanted to prevent for the German society.Both systems are terrible because the prosecution of groups of people.Hitler killed millions, but Stalin too.
