They did not move straight to Huntsville.

It's also absolutely ridiculous to call all White emigres Nazis. Was Alexander Kerensky a Nazi?

    The White Army was openly and explicitly Fascist

    I see what you mean (though "explicitly" needs a citation) but not all so-called white emigres were members of the White Movement; "white emigre" is a misnomer. For example Trotsky could theoretically be called a white emigre, and less tenuously anyone fleeing the civil war would count.

    To quote the wiki page you linked:

    The White Armies comprised a number of different groups, who operated independently and did not share a single ideology or political goal.

    I know what the White movement is. Their only unifying factor was opposition to the Reds. If you want to claim that it was "openly and explicitly fascist", quote the bit you want. The wiki article does not actually use the word "fascist" at all, so I assume that when you say "explicitly" you either do not actually mean "explicitly" or you are referring to something other than what you linked
