We can never know for sure what Hergé's personal views were.

But he certainly
wasn't some innocent bystander in this scenario. Nazism certainly showed him the
ugly side of what Wallez’s fascism stood for. So he didn't want anything to do with that
pre-war fascism but the colonialist racist in him lived on when, years later, Hergé
re-edited Tintin in Congo (with only minor changes).
