Can you tell me how the US government viewed Nazis and Germany during the war, and what their stance was?

At the beginning of World War II, the US government had mixed feelings toward Nazi Germany. Though they condemned many of Hitler’s actions, such as his annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia, they also supported the idea of containing communism. The government was hesitant to help Britain and France directly as they wished to remain neutral. 
However, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the US government shifted its position and officially became the ‘Allies’ enemy. The US entered the war with the intention of defeating Germany, ultimately leading to the Allied Victory over Nazi Germany in 1945.
