  1. Incessant "navel gazing" more often than not clouds the issue and obscures any hope of finding an justifiable answer. I like to keep it simple. The western allies decree at the Casablanca Conference in Jan 1943 for a unconditional surrender of nazi Germany meant that they would not accept a separate nazi surrender to the west whilst continuing to allow the nazis to fight the war in the east (or incredibly unlikely the other way around). Seeing as by January 1943 the nazi regime had already slaughtered its way across the western Soviet Union, there was simply NO WAY that they could accept a surrender to the USSR who they were still busy slaughtering (or more correctly being slaughtered by) in Jan 1943. After the dream of a Pan European / North African / Middle eastern /Asia Minor nazi empire was seen to be untenable, It was their last nazi hope that a chasm would open between eastern and western allies, and that the west would join in the war against the east. Even the "lord of the SS" Heinrich Himmler the most dyed in the wool exponent of nazism pleaded with the western allies to join Germany against the USSR in 1945. For Germany to accept unconditional surrender meant letting their most hated and avowed mortal enemy freely into the very midst of their homes and families to exact their unimaginably awful revenge. All the political dogma and other claptrap is just a smokescreen. Tell a man that he and his family are to be subjugated and then slowly buggered with barbed wire wrapped truncheons for the rest of eternity, and then watch him fight to his death.
