to my understandung this strong "fascist" hypothesis is hypebole. he was member of a conservative student association, however those were prohibited by the Nazis.
correct is that he was a conservative engineer who happened to be intelligent and live in that era, and who was lucky enough to work in his domain instead of dying a cannon fodder somewhere. did they build weapons? sure thing. does that make him a convinced fascist? certainly not.
he wasn't even member of the NSDAP party.
here is a short biography based off complete archive material:
There's a huge difference between "a conservative engineer who happened to be intelligent and live in that era" and leading a weapons lab attracting enormous amounts of funding, and fantasizing about how computing could be used to advance race science research.

Where did I mention he was a fascist or a nazi?

No more than allowing chips on drones makes Nvidia/Intel VPs terrorists, but there's certainly culpability.
