What if the allies except soviets send the nazi generals that were not tried for crimes or found innocent to china to help the nationalist army against the communist when the civil war breaks out again
 
Poor chance for that IMHO. 1. It would make a big propaganda boost for the communists: see, the nationalists are being helped by the Nazis! 2. It would not be very popular among Americans, for pretty much the same reasons. 3. I'm not sure the Chinese nationalists would be happy if they had to listen to a bunch of foreigners who, after all, HAD LOST the last war.

Besides, the nationalists had their own generals. What benefit would incorporating Nazi officers have?
better leadership

General von Falkenhausen who was a member of and eventually led the German military training group to the Nationalists in the 1930s survived the war. Maybe he would be permitted return to China along with other surviving members of that military group.

So the Allies who in OTL sent him to Belgium to face war crimes charges (he was convicted, by the way...) send him to China in this ATL?!

Some people here seem to have no feel whatever for what was and what was not politically possible at a given time.
