Actually, it did not do anything from above. Policy of unconditional surrender did made Germans fight harder, i.e. to the bitter end. It also did huge damage to USSR which made British (and later Americans) think they could topple communist government in USSR fairly easy.

@davidw.2791 Not really. Who would stab in a back if Wehrmacht or German government made a decision to withdraw from the war ? During WW1 there did exist significant Jewish minority at places of power, there were Socialists, Communists etc ... In WW2 it would not be the case.

TIK's analysis is flawed. It is without doubt that offering Germans acceptable terms would shorten the war, thus lessening casualties and suffering. It is also without doubt that at some point certain terms would become acceptable to Germans. For example, in early 1945 even Goebbels privately admitted that German government is ready to swallow a lot of s..t in order to get out of the war. Real reason why unconditional surrender was promoted is simply to keep whole Allied coalition together, dispelling the notion of separate peace (be it by Western Allies or Soviets). It is a kind of suicide pact, we are going to the end with this.

@lati long As I said, acceptable terms for Germans were shrinking as war dragged on. When I say Germans, I do not think only about National-Socialist government but also powerful figures in Wehrmacht that could overthrow this government. For example, in late 1944 lots of Germans would be willing to accept return to pre-war borders minus Austria and Sudetenland, reparations and demilitarization. Problem is that Allies appetite grow. USSR would willing to accept Soviet pre-1939 borders in lets say 1941 or early 1942, post 1939 borders in 1943, but after that they were going for total defeat of the Germany. Certain elements in US and British governments (under Jewish influence) were never willing to negotiate. Those who were willing were gradually sidelined. And there is a whole issue on mistrust between US and UK on one side, and USSR on another.
