I don't think my Nonno was an ideological fascist to be fair. My mother says he supported Mussolini because "kids had bikes and the trains ran on time." He was apparently supposed to be a tanker in the Africa corps but the transport with the tanks was sunk and he left to Switzerland afterwards.

My mother says he didn't kill bugs in the house, he just released them outside. I don't know if "pacifist" is the right word due to the political connotations behind it, but he was anti 'him doing violence'.

I've also got German family but they left for Poland in the early 30s then internationally in the mid to late 30s. Someone on that side was a clairvoyant I think. Also apparently my grandfather's grandfather was a political pacifist who was drafted into the German military. He served in the band.
