For the most part the allies understood that Hitler was expansionist, he had a view on all of Europe. They knew that he was oppressing the Jews, but I don't think that was a big factor at the time. The Allies didn't know about the camps or the killing squads til much later in the war.

Besides the conquoring of a traditional ally, they didn't see Hitler in the same light as the Japanese because we knew about the atrocities that the Japanese had perpetuated every where that they had landed troops. They also had that whole stabbed in the back at Pearl thing.
