Damn, do they teach you anything in schools. By November of '46. Holocaust had claimed 7.1 million Jews and another 7.5 million Slavs, communists, Roma and other unwanted minorities and ideological groups.
Outside of ASB intervention, or a completely exhausted USSR going on immediate offensive against Allies there is nothing to ever make anyone allow Germany to rearm.
Only Truman's calm (and some say Germanophilia) saved Raich from full planed delivery of 25 atomic bombs, they got off quite easy after only 5. Once V2's loaded with sarin started hitting London and newly liberated Pairs in late '45. and when commandos captured bioweapon payloads for next V2 batch... Allies could have ignored Soviet fury and desperation but now were in the same hell.
And to imagine that relatively benign original Morghentau plan was considered as too extreme by some in '44...
After starting two world wars, after 89 million dead in WWII and all 15 million victims of Holocaust, there is no amount of plot induced stupidity that could have made Allies rearm Germany. Sure sure, the horrible threat of Red Menace. What Red Menace, Soviets were still putting out resurgences of epidemics in late '50es.
My apologies, I don't mean to omit the full death toll of the holocaust. The Nazis did terrible things, like raze Warsaw to the ground after it attempted to rise against Germany. They performed hideous medical experiments on Jews, and later Slavs, after the "Judenfrei" declarations of 1946.
Part of the history of the Third Reich that we should consider is the profound mental illness of Hitler. In 1946, he died literally days before the surrender. Surviving confidants remark that he made few speeches or public announcements in that last year, as his physical condition deterioriated.
Indeed, recent discoveries suggest that Hitler never actually ordered the gas attacks, but that his army warlord Wilheim Keitel made that decison. Clearly though, Hitler had gone totally mad by Die Untergang.
The decision to respond to nuclear attacks with "Every weapon in our arsenal" might be the best explanation on why this happened, but it is important to note that had History been different--had Germany not been able to encircle and grab Leningrad and use its ports to resupply in the East, had the landings in Salerno not been crushed by the Wehrmacht, and had the Red Army had better luck throughout its conflict--it could have been over sooner.
