Most of the leading Nazis had a Horror of Communism that made even Joseph McCarthy look tame, and in fact the Axis was originally a specifically anti-Communist alliance. As for the Japanese, they were classified officially as "honorary Aryans". Their devotion to fighting for the Emperor was highly regarded by the Nazis and the SS were supposed to study them (at a very simple level). Germany's allies in WW2 included Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Croats and Bosnians - none of whom were "Aryans". The Nazis took their anti-Semitism seriously, but apart from that many of them tended to ignore their racial theories when it suited them. Perhaps some of them (such as Goering) even knew it was bunk.

The Allied Forces repelled the Nazis from Sicily. The townspeople gave them a big hurray.
