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.

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 :( ??
