Majority of people care less and now little or nothing of WW2. Many young people today in UK struggle to tell when it happened.
And the Germans would have lined up MANY miltary personnel and shot them for merely defending against an invasion had they succeeded. When we call someone a 'war criminal', it means something.
All sides committed atrocities before in Nazi's case, during and in the allies case as victors after, in handing thousands back to Soviet side known full well gulags and execution would follow.
Allies happily gave free passage to War criminals when it suited their interests to do so................. Werner VonBraun and his cohorts is just one example. Allies also quite happy to recruit thousands of Ukainians to join US army and train them for 1946 Invasion of Japan, Hiroshima / Nagasaki put paid to that so many got a free pass to settle in Empire or US.
There is no morality in war.
