Vehmgericht: "You don’t seem to have much imagination.
There could have been a stalemate or a Communist victory."

Anything less than utter destruction & unconditional surrender was a Nazi victory, leaving them in power for World War Three.
There was no acceptable alternative to Allied victory.

Vehmgericht: "Your claim that I openly advocated for a Nazi victory is an attempt to discredit me."

There is no justice in any court which allows Nazi Germany to survive undestroyed and Nazis still in power.
That court can go straight to h*ll, FRiend.

Vehmgericht: "Do you have a scenario where everyone holds hands and sing Kumbaya?”
Lets deal with reality."

The only scenario I have is the one which actually happened: President Roosevelt made nicey-nicey with "Uncle Joe" Stalin, keeping hundreds of Soviet divisions fighting the Eastern Front and so reducing the number of US divisions (and casualties!) required on the Western Front by at least half.

The result was utter destruction of Nazi Germany, Unconditional Surrender, war crimes trials, Allied Victory & complete freedom for Western Europe (including West Germany).
Eastern Europe did not do so well for the following 50 years, though it is at least arguable whose regime was more beastly, Nazis or Soviets?

BroJoeK, 75 years of Hollywood movies have been effective in shaping your views. While I don’t have much sympathy for the Nazi regime I don’t think it was much more evil than the Soviet one that had already killed untold millions or the British Empire whose hands were not completely clean. The history of this period is part of a religion. You can not argue with people’s religious beliefs.
