On the subject in the context of the European war, lying pro-war bastards write: "Unconditional surrender was a concrete commitment that Britain and the US would not sell out the Soviet Union. That was never going to happen, of course, but it was a useful reassurance to Stalin that came at a time when Britain and the US were far from taking the fight directly to Germany. " Bull. Keep in mind we supported the bloody Communist tyrant Stalin and his hellhole USSR. "Uncle Joe" as the POS Truman called him. Hitler made many peace offers to the West, all rejected (France and Britain declared war on Germany, not the other way around). Because, you know, we've got to let millions fall under Marxist-Leninist totalitarianism to save the world from Hitler.
