Churchill once said -"We slaugtered the wrong pig". It would have been worse. I do believe communism is slightly worse than Nazism, but communism has one major advantage over Nazism. It is not self-sustaining, and will inevitably collapse. |

It is not self-sustaining, and will inevitably collapse. 1. Why would it have been worse? 2. Communism is really not good because any society looking to fold inwards will fall. China - the current example of Communism is following a lot of Capitalist ideas. |

It is not self-sustaining, and will inevitably collapse. By worse, I mean that there would be more people dead. In addition Germany would most definitely not own all the territory it conquered. It would own a fraction, and set up the rest as puppets. However in the long term, I would say there would be less dead. Interestingly, both of these happened because Woodrow Wilson became President of the USA... |

Your second point is extremely accurate. When I said advantage, it would be for the allied powers. |

I think the Allies would occupy Rhine as it was rich in resources. Germany would still have been torn apart though and I doubt how Hitler would have lived that. |
