I prefer saying “the third Reich lost, and the fourth Reich was born.” Or “the German fascists lost, and the American fascists won.”
The immediate turn after the war against the fascists of the world into the US fighting socialism… just like the fascists were doing is pretty much irrefutable proof. Unless one adopts the moronic mindset that America is “good” and was justified to do multiple wars including genocides not unlike what the German Nazis did against the “evil” USSR and other socialist countries.
But yes this example overall also shows the liberal attitude of “well, yeah, Nazis are bad but he was a scientist! He’s smart! Not like those other evil guys like Hitler! It made sense to use his mind to help us… against the dirty commies!” (And yes I know many of the third reich’s high command was highly educated holding PhDs, JDs, MDs.)
