@russelledwards001 I'd say Churchill was similar ruler as Alexander the Liberator of Russia, although not an absolute dictator. I think it's called a hybrid regime.

@Chasstful So...why wait a couple of years? I have heard that the Battle of Hürtgen Forest was quite intense. I would have built an Autobahn from Normandy to Berlin, and sang love songs. I bet you did Nazi that coming. https://youtu.be/Zzg_FjEhHUc

But in the end, they made peace. So a peace treaty would make sense in 1943. https://youtu.be/sIk8dS70uUQ

@fringedweller5425 Hitler resigns (commits suicide / is assassinated) 1943. Dönitz takes office. Problem solved.

@shellshockedgerman3947 Ireland and Switzerland started the war. They had huge losses in WW2....except it didn’t happen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Russia#Soviet_Union_(1922–1991)

@damyr Actually, Himmler understood the military situation better than Hitler.

@dantecaputo2629 It makes sense if we believe the narrative of this channel.

@andybrennand1576 High school education was very rare in the early 20th century. Unlike Hitler, Heinrich Himmler was an officer candidate.

Why not in Sweden?

@brucetucker4847 Google Kalervo Kurkiala. He was Adolf Eichmann of Sweden and Finland.

@nottoday3817 Yeah, I know. We literally called for an unconditional surrender, but it was never delivered. "in the present situation in which the Finnish Government finds itself, it may feel that the best solution for its present political difficulties would be a landing by American or even British troops in Finland." September 1, 1943 https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1943v03/d217

@Chasstful Sounds more like a Tarantino fantasy. The war ended without any of the norwegian fortifications being used in action. Dönitz was imprisoned just like Risto Ryti, so it was a conditional surrender. https://suomenpresidentit.fi/ryti/?lang=en Also, terms vary by country. Norway is known to be quite liberal. Most of the Waffen-SS veterans were sentenced to three months in jail under the legal purge in Norway after World War II.

@dantecaputo2629 A couple of years later, Stalin is in a coffin and the last Führer goes free. Kurt Kiesinger joined the Nazi Party years earlier than Dönitz. Not that I'm complaining.

@chuckschillingvideos That is relative. Not every single person surrenders. You may even get additional rights, such as the right to vote in Austria, which the Russians don't have.
1
@dantecaputo2629 Stalin had no power after his death. For example, Estonian holdouts were pardoned. And Dönitz lived another 17 years after JFK was assassinated.

@khankrum1 Exactly. There was NO surrender! Lieutenant colonel Carl von Haartman was deported from Lapland to Costa del Sol, Spain. He bought a vineyard and drank himself to death at the age of 83 in August 1980.

@chrism7969 For example, Ho Chi Minh fought against the Japanese, but was treated less favorably. About 600 of the dead Viet Minh were killed by British soldiers, the rest 2100 by the French and Japanese.
1
@chrism7969 True, it has to do with the conditional surrender of Germany.
1
@chrism7969 You forget that the Waffen-SS was an international organization. The Finnish SS switched sides and most of them were promoted. The Bulgarian SS regiment disbanded itself and the soldiers mingled with the local population. Junior SS officers were sentenced to three months in jail under the legal purge in Norway. As early as June 1946, Harry Truman offered to provide political asylum for Marshal Pétain. Subsequent arrests were either self-inflicted or otherwise unrelated to WW2. In Austria alone, 200,000 Nazis lost the right to vote. That sounds conditional, compared to a hanging.
1
@chrism7969 The Finnish Waffen-SS (FFB) served under Himmler in 1941-43 and fought in Tornio against Germany in 1944. Not to be confused with MG Ski Brigade Finnland, which was Austrian. I guess Finland was Co-belligerent of The USSR, since they remained in defensive positions in Ivalo. In my opinion, the Waffen-SS can be broadly called Nazis, even if not everyone was involved in war crimes.
1
@chrism7969 Basically, local law dictates sentencing. At Stalin's request, Finland expelled some Finnish citizens with a Russian background, the last of whom died in a concentration camp in 1951. Capital punishment was de facto abolished: Finland 1944 Norway 1948 West Germany 1949 Denmark 1950 Netherlands 1952 East Germany 1987
1
@chrism7969 Terms vary by country. Partly even worse conditions in the USSR. Many people were rehabilitated posthumously. For example Khaibakh massacre in 1944. And some sources give a minimum of 115,000 peasants who died of famine in Moldavian SSR.
1
@chrism7969 When "unconditional" surrender equals Monday in the USSR, then why not call it conditional.
1
@chrism7969 That's why I said legislation varies from country to country. Under U.S. law, people’s rights increased. Capital punishment was reinstated by Quisling. He was sentenced to death under Norwegian law. In Austria, the number of eligible voters rose to 3.25 million compared to zero in Soviet Russia. Mere membership of the Nazi Party didn't necessarily cause anything, see Herbert von Karajan, Kurt Georg Kiesinger etc.
1
@chrism7969 So you say it was de jure unconditional, de facto conditional. I agree.
1
@Chasstful Adolf Heusinger even commanded British troops. For all intents and purposes he was a clone of Hitler. In other words, it was entirely possible for the British to join Axis.
1
@dantecaputo2629 Clean Wehrmacht is a myth. Austria, UN, NASA, DDR and West Germany were run by Nazies. Not mentions 'Hans Landa' was presidential elector in Finland (1968).

Axis military casualties 13% Allied military casualties 25%

They imagine that Putin is similar to Stalin, even though they are not even from the same country. U.S. production alone was higher than total Axis production. Note that Finland succeeded in stopping the enemy, because there was no western front.

Are you saying Reinhard Heydrich lied?

@hailexiao2770 You don't need a noble ideology to go to war. Clas Eriksson Fleming subdued Swedish rebels of the Cudgel War in 1596–97. Outsiders basically choose a random party to support. For example, Josip Broz Tito fought on the "Nazi" side during WW1.

@seththomas9105 Nuclear weapons can be used, but then you have to attack through a radiating crater. That’s why jujutsu is a thing. These horses survived at least all the way to the sausage factory, which is kind of a miracle: https://youtu.be/bVGAH1ckIxo

@andybrennand1576 Himmler was escorted by the Finnish state police during his visit to Finland. They reported him buying toys for the children of fallen comrades from the Stockmann department store https://youtu.be/wYQSlxlYwEc

When you draw a circle anywhere called a state, it's never the same. Israel became its own country, so it was both a civil war and an ethnic conflict.
