ANTIFA, 1944, colorized (sort of)

I understand why you need this type of propaganda in the US. However, there is several flaw that may be an issue in this take :

• US regime was an inspiration for the nazi regime, formally (i.e with segregation) and informally
• British, French and Canadian where colonial empire that make genocide before WWII. In fact, a lot of soldier during the war where forced by those empire, and some where killed after the world, because their colonial empire refuse to pay them or give the freedom their promise for. This is not irrelevant, in fact according to Aimé Césaire, this is the root of fascism

Those countries (specially the US) use massive bombing against cities, targeting civilians to spread terror and break resistance. If it war true in Germany (and it still a war crime and a fascist move), it was true in other space like Normandy, where whole city was destroy for little strategical interests and massives casualties.

After the victory, allies deport and detain massively former german soldiers, including forced one, and some of them where arbitrary execution where done (including on french people).

Those authoritarian regimes lead to fascists movement in response. People that where not linked with far-right, where influenced by it, in order to denounce what killed their relatives.

Of course, this violence spare the nazi elite. It's well known that scientist could escape in collaborate with the US or the URSS, but even some nazi general or high administrator could work for the US (in the FRG or NATO) on for the colonial forces. France for example quickly hire former SS to repress colonies in Indochine (Vietnam) and Algeria. Those SS make a political party, known has the "front national".

I'm not saying that the real antifascist where the USSR, they where some antifa, including during the d-day (i.e the anarchists of the Nueve). I'm underlying that the fascism is not something coming from outside our societies, but from it.
