@spicytuna421 My conclusion is that Germany won. When examining the sentences imposed on criminals, the punishments handed down by German judiciary are harsher than those of the Americans. Perhaps a draw on the eastern front. Also, the Vietnam War is considered a defeat, even though it was milder on an annual basis than the current virus. In reality, propaganda defeat.

@davethompson3326 But how Western Europeans are they? Dresden Prague distance is less than 2 hours by bus. They have a very nostalgic (Ostalgie) understanding of communism. Probably because it was the best communist country anywhere (after Kadarism?).

@piotrd.4850 In 1961, the U.S. government transferred about one billion in “counterpart funds” to the Austrian government, which established the “ERP-Fonds.” This fund enjoys assets worth almost three billion Euros and is still providing investment funds for innovative projects to the Austrian economy today to the tune of 500 million Euros. https://www.austriainusa.org/occupation

In my opinion, there is no single point but a constant struggle with varying intensity. Lots of defensive victories still in 1943-44 at Kasserine, Tienhaara, Ilomantsi etc. On 30 January 1943, following Hitler's outrage over the Battle of the Barents Sea, Erich Raeder was forced to retire as Admiral Inspector, a ceremonial office. Karl Dönitz called off operations in the North Atlantic in the spring of 1943, saying, "We had lost the Battle of the Atlantic". Dönitz joined the Nazi party only in 1944. In 1946, the U.S. had some 14,000 soldiers in Austria. For comparison, the number of Finnish ground troops was limited to 34,400 men. Low intensity cultural wars: Patriotic and social riots of the Polish people in the years 1956, 1968, 1970, 1976, 1980 and 1981. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/poznan-june-1956-monument Gelsenkirchen: Controversial Lenin statue erected in German city https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-europe-53123947

@antonjoly9601 They could still appease the Americans in 1943.

@antonjoly9601 Perhaps. On the other hand, Finland also had better relations with the USA than the UK. New White Guard statue on the West Coast of Finland: https://data.kosila.fi/kp24/2020/06/29/1200_1200/2709784.jpg

Another proof of German victory. They were not convicted earlier, because the Allied forces were too insignificant. Only the historical shift from high birth rates to low birth rates and an aging population led to convictions. "given a two-year suspended prison sentence Thursday, a court announced. The 93-year-old man, identified as Bruno D., was charged with 5,230 counts of accessory to murder over his time as an SS guard" https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/23/europe/nazi-guard-germany-conviction-intl/index.html
