Thank you. Finally, someone else in this thread that understands the importance of stopping the Russians from swarming over China, taking the entirety of Korea, and possibly even claiming a portion of Japan. It was of utmost importance to draw a line in the sand after tension started building up after Potsdam when the true horror of an expansionist Stalin-ruled USSR became obvious to everyone.
Because, as bad as the Japanese were to the Chinese and Hitler was to the Jews, Stalin made them look like Boy Scouts with his paranoia and quest for unbridled power. And no, that's not hyperbole. He was far and away the most terrifying force of WWII.

And amusingly he was the level headed one when it came to the treatment of Germany.
If Churchill had his way every german of a rank of Major or higher would be strangled to death... and if FDR would of been heeded, every german in germany would of been tracked down and castrated. Seriously.
People just don't see Stalin as bad becuase his killings weren't as "targeted'.
He didn't kill jews or gypsies or whatever, he just killed people he thought were against hm.
Somehow... that's not seen as bad. That's the era of hatecrime laws though.

I don't think FDR was seriously advocating castrating all male Germans, though his statement is certainly repulsive. I can't find any source for Churchill wanting the strangling of all people Major and above, can you provide one?

Probably, it was the same books I've read about FDR... the significance being it was how you killed Roman traitors. Having trouble finding a source only because of the popular baby strangle remarks about communism.
FDR's exact quote I don't think can be taken any other way THAN he wanted to literally castrate them. It talks directly about repoducing.
"You either have to castrate the German people or you have to treat them in a manner that they
can't just go on reproducing people who want to continue the way they have in the past."
