That war was basically a prologue for WWII except that the playing field was a bit more even (still favoring the commie side) and the commie side got their asses kicked.
They internally know that theyโd lose to any Fascist army that was actually even. They only won WWII because they had vastly higher numbers and surrounded the axis, and if it wasnโt for that massive advantage the allies would have lost.
So constantly demonizing Hitler is a tactic to deter people from being fascists, and specifically attack Hitler since Franco won the SCW and more people would see how bad the Republicans (yeah thatโs what the commie side called themselves) were at fighting and how they commonly executed christians.
