Spitzer: "I thought Obama will be another FDR" ... Don't they remember how much FDR loved fascists?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was not a fascist and he was not supportive of the fascists. These accusations were by right wing politicians and commentators who were fearful of his policies similar to how Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, et al of today confront current US President Barack Obama with similar accusations. Truly and clearly neither President is or ever was a fascist.
Even this Wikipedia article about the subject has the disclaimer " the article does not present a neutral point of view " and was most likely written by modern day versions of Charles E. Coughlin a FDR era opponent of the New Deal who broadcast his opinions against President Roosevelt in the 1930's on the radio, again similar to modern day opponents of Barack Obama. URL1 Many parallels can be drawn between the time of President Roosevelt and the present, lets just pray that it does not lead the world to war again as in the past and President Obama learns from the examples and lessons of the past by following through with the promise and potential that earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.
I recommend Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" and Schivelbusch's "Three New Deals" to help remind readers - and re-arm them intellectually and factually - of the danger inherent in any belief system that proclaims government to be the solution to society's ills. One of my favorite examples of Facist adoration for Roosevelt is from a letter Hitler sent to Roosevelt regarding extreme measures taken by the Nazis "on behalf" of the "goal" to which they strove for the German people: "The public weal transcends the interests of the individual." Put Spock's mouth around it and you get "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
Of course, a lot of people are all right with that... until they realize they are "the individual" or "the few". But that is the essence of Obamanism; it's always someone else who's going to have to pay the bill, until it isn't... and then it's too late. The true history of the Liberal Progressives and their politics has been steadily buried, eroded, re-written and re-cast ever since World War II made their eugenics policies no longer fashionable.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
