| Pyro as Bill said: The US also stopped Russia from taking the rest of Europe for itself. |
That's true. Though you could argue that was part of the "Cold War"... the war after.
A slightly disengenious way to look at it but still... not exactly logically unsound.
Two funny antecdotes about that.
1) Of the Allies leaders. Stalin was the one who wanted to be most "gentle" with Germany. FDR suggested castrate the German people. Literally, not like castrate the country of the economy. He literally wanted to make it so germans couldn't reproduce.
2) Patton and some other generals argued with the US and UK high commands that since the armies and war efforts were mobilized that we should "Push on to Moscow."
