Hang on, did I come across as saying the Allied Commanders specifically came across as sanctioning those war crimes?
Damn.
I didn't mean that at all, sorry for giving you that impression! I mean, there was only one Allied government that sanctioned war crimes (I'm looking at you, Stalin) but Nazi Germany had to be defeated.
Although I think Churchill might have been in the right track when he suggested re-arming the Whermacht after the war for a combined invasion of the Soviet Union to destroy communism
