I don’t know what you are trying to say about post war fascism, pretty clear it never got reestanlished in Europe. Also, the vitriol and ad hominems are unnecessary. I like how you glossed over the Luftwaffe being destroyed by the Western Allies and the other two Axis major powers that were defeated almost entirely by the West. Also the lend lease to the Soviets and the fact that the Soviet started the war by helping Germany invade and conquer countries. If you want to talk about helping fascists look no further than the Soviets. Obviously, the Eastern Front absorbed the bulk of German troops but industrial output by theater is a different matter. And the Soviets couldn’t have done it without the support of the Western Allies.

That ignores some pretty important stuff like the roughly 30% of the German army that was tied down in the west and the annihilation of the Luftwaffe at the hands of British and American pilots and the strategic bombing of German industry. It also ignores the other two major Axis powers but yeah go off with your Soviet-centric view of the war.

This isn’t even a little true, the two militaries that inflicted the most casualties on Japan were the Chinese Nationalists and the United States with Commonwealth forces in 3rd. The Red Army isn’t even close to inflicting half of the casualties on the Japanese forces. During the war, the only fighting between them was the Invasion of Manchuria where the Soviets fought a badly trained and under equipped Japanese army.
