Evil on such a broad scale requires many hundreds of thousands of willing actors at the bare minimum (and millions of passive participants). Giving everyone but a tiny handful at the top a pass means you miss an important lesson in what not to do (or allow) in the future. That's a mistake people make at their own peril, IMO.

Ever heard of Dresden, Hamburg or Berlin?
The americans bombed those cities into rubble, historical beautiful cities with hundreds of thousands of civilians.
Or what about the Millions of rapes by the russian hordes?
You should realize that its the victor that writes the history books. The Germans are only the bad guys of the world because they lost, if germany had won im sure we would all know about the american concentration camps for italians, germans and japs.
