I realise this must've been done (a lot) before, but all the words I can think of searching for are way too common, so...

How does one reverse WWII so that the Axis quite clearly are the good guys and the Allies evil? They needn't be caricatures, America or Britain (to say nothing of the USSR) did already have their smaller problems IOTL (carpet-bombing et cetera), but the Nazis are still recognised as the Evil side in the war for their genocidal policies and war crimes. All that's required here is to reverse the trend; the Allies need only be that much worse than the Axis that they are viewed as such.

The easiest answer might be to never have the Nazis get very far in the USSR, thus not giving them room for their anti-Slavic genocide and reducing the impetus for a full-scale Holocaust. But I'm looking for something more creative, a war roughly analogous to ours.

Implementation of the Morgenthau Plan, perhaps? TBO? Different management in the US or the Soviet Union? Greater participation in the war by France and their Colonials?

Needless to say, Nazism would very likely need extensive modification. A Fascist-style German dictatorship?
