Easy. The OP expressed how he wishes allied forces to be remembered as the bringers of freedom.
Well, here in the Axis countries (Hungary to be precise), the allied armies/airforce did not bring any of the aforementioned freedom, but instead unleashed previously unknown destruction, misery, mass murders, communist governments, terrorist state police.
History is codified by law even nowadays. Even the UK has a law that war crimes could only have been commited by Germany.
I have no problem with respecting worthy opponents, but freedom?.. We have far less of it since the end of World War 2.
