If the Allies had prosecuted the war via every way possible, they could have had Hitler deposed and handed over, and the German Army surrender.
And years before the actual end, with the saving of over 100,000 American lives.
5. There was a large and well-organized anti-Nazi, and anti-communist underground in Germany, and Stalin demanded that it never be recognized....or even its existence admitted.
In October of 1944, he AP bureau chief in Berlin, Louis Lochner tried to file a story on the anti-Nazi Germans operating out of France. The US military censors blocked the story.
"The government official in chare of censorship was forthcoming enough to confide to Lochner that there was a personal directive from the president of the United States 'in his capacity as commander in chief forbidding all mention of the German resistance."
"Hitler and America,"by Klaus P. Fischer
"....a personal directive from the president...."
Why?
a. Fischer quotes Lochner as follows: "Stories of the existence of a resistance movement did not fit into the concept of Unconditional Surrender."
Harry Hopkins biographer, George McJimsey, makes the claim that,after Stalin and his spies in the administration demanded that the Allies never open communication with the anti-Hitler Germans, and accept only unconditional surrender- which would leave Germany in no condition to hinder Stalin's post war efforts to control all of Europe, Roosevelt viewed "the doctrine as an approach to Stalin...a device, along with Lend Lease aid and the promise of a second front for convincing Stalin of his good will."

by George McJimsey, , p. 278-279
"....for convincing Stalin of his good will."
Unconditional Surrender as a doctrine fit the aims of Stalin.....not America.
