Hitler

I was wondering if anyone else thinks that Jean Brodie would have supported Hitler as well. She liked Mussolini, and supported Franco. Of course, Hitler supported both of them as well. Something I wondered when watching the film. I also wonder if after she was fired she went to Spain and fought or supported Franco. Or if she was just a hypocrite. Any ideas?

Please remember Brodie is an Italophile so for that reason alone she is more interested in Mussolini.

In the TV series they haveca whole episode devoted to the Fascist theme. There is a girl called Julia whose parents have fled Italy. It's a bit clumsily done in the series.
