Actually, it did... speaking as a "John IV"...
Actually, it did... speaking as the son and grandson of John Jr. and John Sr., as it were, they'd had enough of the old king of the mountain game in Europe.. that whole "Lost Generation" thing with the WW I cohort was not fiction.
The Germans were no more going to rebel than the Japanese; cripes, even the best organized effort by the army took five years to get into place, and it did not fail because of unconditional surrender.
And who is this "we" kemosabe? Were you around in 1941-45?
Best,
Perhaps you don't understand you don't tell your enemy your plan if it keeps him in the fight and no it wasn't needed to keep Americans in the fight.
The war being just didn't mean giving the Germans a potential not assured reason to undermine their own war effort to try to get peace along with throwing out that evil government you are talking about wasn't a good idea.
We even provided to Japan more leeway in that we allowed them to just unconditionally surrender to us while we made clear Germany had to unconditionally surrender to Stalin as well as us. No half way war is fine and no one is a bigger supporter of that notion then me. But, also don't give the German population no option other then fight to the end, we even gave Japan a way out short of being occupied by the Soviets we weren't willing to give Germany.
Basically we could have separated the Nazi party from the German people and pushed the German people to rid themselves of their government and we didn't do that, we decided to treat them as one in the same and got a war that ended up lasting a year longer then it needed to order to beat any fight out of Germany as a nation for good.
