Remember that in reality the US saved the top Nazis and made them head of NATO.
What? Really? Source/subject?
Yep. Unfortunately they were very smart in the science department.
Bullshit, I'll take Alan Turing and Einstein over any german ww2 scientists, I call BS this is a narrative people want to be true and frankly it is a creepy impulse.
I'm not saying it was right. I'm saying why they thought it "justified."
As long as you are saying that, I just fear without that context it becomes a dangerous narrative that also totally ignores the genius of so many people who fought against fascism that we have swept under the rug.
In Alan Turing's case the sweeping under the rug involved being murdered by the English government for the crime of being gay even though he fucking handed the war to the allies and invented a functioning computer.
The US did and UK not fight against Fascism because it disliked Fascism. In fact they gladly cooperated with Adolf. Churchill shared many of Hitler his antisemitic ideas.
They fought Fascism because the Fascism was attacking them. and wanted to take over their power.
It was primarily Russia which fought WW2 to begin with. Germany was defeated at Stalingrad in 1943 which could be considered the turning point of WW2.
America swooped into Normandy in 1944 when the war was was basically already won by Russia and Russia was gaining ground on Nazi Germany.
Of course the pretense used by the US and the UK politicians was that it was all about liberation. As they will do for every war, just (against the Nazis) or unjust (Afghanistan, Iraq etc).
Wasn't he chemically castrated??
Yes, in a way that destroyed his wonderous mind, it was murder by english fascists afraid of the power of queerness, plain as day.
Strange that he couldn't be a hero while literal fascists were publicaly "rehabilated" (read "normalized") in the US and UK :( ??
