Officially US the good ones which won Nazi Germany, despite that is was Rusia and the allied, the US only enter when almost everything was done
The Soviet Union (and I say that to emphasize that it was not simply Russia) and other Allies also played an important role in the Pacific Theatre too once they had some breathing space. I suppose the US glorify it so aggressively because it’s one of the few major wars they were on the winning side of, but when they rapidly promoted former Nazis to high political positions and launched Operation Gladio, one can’t help but realize their troops were only sent there to stop those Nazis, not Nazism.
I have seen detailed explanations of why even their Pacific importance wasn’t as big as they claimed.
And they intervened in Europe not to stop the nazis but the Soviets from taking it all, which would’ve happened in no time if they didn’t meet the ‘allieds’ in Berlin.
I wonder who they were allied with BTW, since they saved 10000’s of nazis from the Soviets and evacuated them, or in Italy let them surrender and enabled them to go fight the Soviets.
All of the nazis in the west got fully rehabilitated despite the handful of death penalties in the Nuremberg showtrials.

How easily the US’s friends are forgotten… [1][2]
