    If Hitler hadn’t eaten a bullet and been recruited as the head of the CIA and said the holocaust had been done behind his back and against his wishes, these people would’ve believed it

    I feel like Hitler was probably fucked no matter what because the execution of some of the very top Nazis was important for propaganda reasons, but if Hitler was caught and tried and killed, there are probably other high-ranking Nazis who would have been recruited (the kabuki theater being satisfied by killing others) and said just as you describe

        TIL burning down every building in Tokyo and 96% destruction of every permanent structure in the entire country is getting off lightly

        I kinda agree with you though, China should have been allowed to turn Japan into a penal colony after what they did

        Potentially up to 60 million wartime Chinese casualties, never even seen anybody in the west mention it in passing, even people that know about the unit 731 shit have no absolutely no idea the scale of what Japan inflicted upon China

      Bro I’m still fucking waiting for someone to test the bones of some beloved local librarian in Uruguay and confirm Hitler died in 1982 surrounded by three generations of his loving family
