Succes of fascism with a moderate "Hitler"?

Fascism as a political/economic seems to work for the PRC. One of the problems that fascist states seem to have a problem with is dealing with corruption. A more rational non-antisemitic Hitler would slow down the pace of military buildup and not be ready to confront Poland before 1940. The issue of the Sudetenland could be solved by plebiscite. A possible solution is to let Danzig vote to join Germany. When Poland attacks France and the UK may decide not to intervene.
 
Germany was so virulently antisemitic it's hard to imagine a totalitarian regime there that wasn't. The best you could probably hope for was Nazism patterned after Strasser instead of Hitler and Himmler. Even then there would be others lurking, such as Hugenberg. And if there's any expansionism present it's bound to come in conflict with like-minded states sooner or later, such as Italy or the Soviet Union. And an Axis-Soviet Bloc would only last long enough to carve up British holdings in the Middle East. There would be too much in Iraq and Iran (especially Iran) for either the Germans or the Soviets to let the other have.

Germany wasn't, a large element of the extreme right were though. A Volkish German movement could have coopeted the assimilationist Jewish movements actually: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews
 
Would a national socialist germany that does not invade poland , face an invasion by the soviet union sooner or later?
How would the British and French react to the Soviet Union invading Germany if German had stayed at peace?
