slackerbitch posted:I've also heard that the Nazi higher-ups were hoping the Allies would accept generous surrender terms so that the Nazis and Allies might work together to fend off the Soviet threat, but the Allies wanted nothing to do with the Nazis. I had assumed that was moral outrage over the concentration camps, but that doesn't really fit if the Allied forces already knew about the Holocaust. So why were they so repulsed? Out of principle, perhaps. Stubborn old Winston. And France mainly, and a lot of populations of the allied countries in western europe anyway would've had none of it - out of hatred towards the nazis and sympathies towards communists. The latter being prevalent at least until communist takeover of eastern Europe. That's my guess anyway.
