Sadly soviet union actually took control of most of the countries that became free with the ultimate breakdown of the soviet union, that currently appear to be the main aim of Putin to restore to Russian control to say it has restored the Soviet Union. Like now the Baltic countries Poland, Yugoslavia, Czech Republic, Hungary were all independant, though many had close ties with Germany/Austria. Big parts of present Poland were in fact under German rule. Anyhow if anything Gemany was defeated on Soviet side as its losses there depleted resources to continue fighting in the western side. But under US pressure, to my understanding, the Soviet occupation of eastern Europe and Baltic States was allowed to un challenged in part to get out of continued fighting. Much of Eutope left in poorer state than had Germany won. Not that I agree with the EXTREMELY BAD , IMMORAL aspects of Nazi actions.
One point, majority of northern and western regions of Germany suffered under Nazi rule and resisted the Nazi regime. Majority of soldiers sent into war were scared conscripts much like present Russian troops in Ukraine, and faced firing squads for refusing to serve. Younger children/teens were forced into youth leagues fir indoctrination, and gained extra credits for dobbing on anyone not following party lines and doctrine. Fear abounded. A frequently overlooked fact, Hitler was NOT German but Austrian from very close to Yugoslave border. A region that in not so distant past had internal genocide issues, a war that US helped clearup. But those regions have a long history of cultural genocide. Further Hitler was a military courier in WW I and was almost killed by a Mustard gas attack leaving him somewhat brain damaged, needing many months of on hospital recovery.
Hitlervwas NOT fully supported through out Germany most power and actual votes that put him into political position was by Bavarian voters, who always have more link to Austria than Germany while remaing one of the number of United States making up Germany.
