Many think that the way WWI was ended made WWII inevitable.
Yes I would be one of those. The Paris Peace Conference did everything but establish peace. The division of Prussia alone was enough to ensure a
continuation of hostilities, combined with Article 231 (drafted by the Dulles brothers), war was inevitable.

The Russians beat the Nazi forces all the way back to Berlin, and then took the Reichstag.
It was only at the eleventh-hour that America and co-allition forces 'Liberated' the 'Occupied' territiories.
How noble of the west.
To step in when the Nazi's had been all but crushed!
To step in and plunder the spoils of the Nazi loot!
To demonize the Soviet republics after the war; they would not have won if the soviets hadn't done most of the fighting.
Precisely, and this was Britain's policy, brilliantly and efficiently executed, get Russia and the US to fight a war to ensure British independence.
Churchill set up an elaborate deception to fool Hitler into believing that if he attacked Russia, a vote of no confidence would be instituted against
Churchill and his government overthrown. The new government and Britain would then form an alliance with Germany against the common enemy Bolshevism.
Germany had no plans for aggression against Russia for at least another five years. Russian supplies were essential to the German war machine and
for feeding the German population. Despite how history has reported it, Hitler was not a mad man to set up two fronts, he did so in the belief that
Britain would soon be his ally and that they would be fighting alongside each other against the 'Asian Hoards'. Obviously he was misled.
Britain then, throughout Barbarrossa, provided the Soviets with the German Order of Battle, in minute detail. This information, obtained in part from
Ultra decrypts, was fed to the Soviets via double agents who were working in Switzerland for the Lucy Spy Ring. The Soviets had information about the
Germans every military thought and used it to good effect.

How about all the Nazi's that found 'Absolution' within America???
All the booty, human or otherwise, was grabbed on a first come first served basis, some areas were divvied up in advance, though those agreements were
not always honoured. France too would later use units of former SS troops in Indo-China, they also took large portions of the aeronautical
operations, lock, stock and barrel. As did Britain, the Soviets and the US. With few exceptions all the nations involved displayed immense hypocracy
or worked along principles established in 18th century warfare. There were special units set up to penetrate enemy lines prior to the 'liberation'
forces in order to get to some items and possibly individuals, before anyone else did or before they could be 'removed' by other means. The US was
by no means alone, they're either more honest than most, or not as good at covering their tracks.

And still is? I agree with you that WWII isn't quite done yet, but then, neither was WWI.
