Nazi Germany had to be physically conquered by a powerful alliance of countries. That is not going to happen in the US. This nightmare isn't going to end on its own either, so the prospect your are fantasising about is unlikely to ever occur.
People did not change their mind even after the occupation. Their children and grandchildren did, but the original supporters of Hitler died thinking his greatest mistake was starting a war. Because it brought them personally a lot of hardship, not because of an ocean of suffering and a mountain of corpses.
They thought they were free, Milton Mayer
If Germany hadn't started a war that led to their defeat - or attempted to and a ceasefire is declared with minimal boundary changes, what would have happened with them longer term?
We would have a Nazi sitting at the United Nations. Also America was extremely divided on getting involved, even after learning about the Holocaust. Many people here actually supported the Nazis (similar to MAGA now)
And even then there was no effective denazification. Top nazi scientists were hired by the US and the Sowjets and not enough were killed after the trials.
Naziism is alive in well in Germany.
German detected.
But if all the top Nazi scientists are in the US and Russia, how are they still in Germany? It’s like these Nazi scientists must be everywhere by now.
