I was alive then. The US never went to war against the Nazis. It was Hitler who declared war, and the US war was conducted against the German people via extermination bombings while the train lines to the death camps remained unthreatened and Hitler's buddy and ally, Franco (a Nazi in all but name), remained a good friend of the US and was promptly rehabilitated after the war. As were all the Nazis except for a few in staged show trials. "Denazification" was a farce in which the anti-Nazi Wilhelm Furtwängler was denied the right to conduct in Germany while the Nazi "wünderkind" Herbert von Karajan was cleared and placed in a dominant position over European music for the next half-century!
