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.

Alright, so going back to 'the truth' weren't there approx 550,000 Hungarian Jews murdered up to 1944? Exactly what level of 'previsously unknown misery, mass murder' etcetera was delivered by the allied forces? Because it must have had one hell of an impact to eclipse Hungary's contribution to the attempted extermination of the Jews? Unless you weren't counting the whole holocaust thing.
