I think it’s a great idea, because comparing First and Second World Wars is kinds stupid. One was war of English and French capital against German capital, the other was war of the People against fascism.

It’s a bit clunky in English but I do agree with the framing.
I know there will be endless arguing over not including the US, UK, and France as fascist countries but in reality they were not fascist. Of course those countries sucked - all three were maintaining brutal colonial empires at the time - but to call them fascist is to basically strip fascism as meaning anything. You can still be evil and not fascist. Japan, Germany, and Italy all possessed unique qualities as states (fascism) and they were on the same side. I think it’s a reasonable description.
Disagree on the US specifically. If anything the USA was the original fascist state.
Just like La Dame D’Azur wrote, the USA IS the original fascist state and one could consider it a successful one to the point that it was an inspiration for the Nazis. To delve into this, you can read the following book:
For the part of the inspiration of the Nazis, there is a russian historian called Yegor Yákovlev that delves into this. CubaDebate has a video from this historian
