Germany back then was still an enemy state, which was supposed to be neutralized, maybe genocided and depopulated, probably a neutral agricultural state, butchered and given to neighboring countries.
So it was strategically advantageous to expand the borders of your Polish puppet state as far west as possible.

But then Americans kinda had this doublethink going on and while Jewish atrocity propaganda told them they were an evil race, everything they saw with their own eyes in Germany told the exact opposite story and they were a high trust society full of friendly people, who didn't commit terror attacks for a fundamentalist ideology. So the Americans decided to spare them, while England and France already sold their rights to German slave labor to the Soviets, who would have worked them all to death, continuing the genocide against Germans. The Americans got tired of starving Germans to death, the radical pro-genocide Jews were no longer as influential and the German people survived.

The US did it, because a poor, depopulated, starving Germany would just jump ship to communism at the first chance

What’s this image from? I thought Americans were settled on TGD from the start

The ex-German territories are a fucking deadweight for Poland, they would be stronger without them.

Stalin did not have this radical idea. Already before Germany was vanquished did he have plans for reorganizing the Nazis into good East Germans. It were only some radical Jews like Morgenthau on the American side + French that had such an attitude

>>18457084
the noble Stalin took pity on the Poles despite their crimes against Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Lithuania, and Czechoslovakia

and reimbursed the land he took from Poland

They needed to compensate Poland somehow. And in the immediate post-war, being able to bounce off East Germany and Poland against eachother seemed useful. Later on they would be somewhat repentant of that and make Poland waive its reparations to help the GDR. Which iirc the poles still resent.

The Morgenthau Plan wasn't explicitly meant to have germany completely destroyed and butchered, though it did intend to pacify it for good this time. Morgenthau and his plan actually held a bit of influence during the war's twilight (Roosevelt somewhat agreed with Morgenthau in his proposals, iirc) and the early reconstruction period, but the generalized want for Germany to be punished did not extend into allowing them to starve. The genocide plan was Germany Must Perish! (and other books by Jews) and that book was written by a really angry Jew with no influence at all.

even line A in the picrel >>18457462 would've been plenty. A smaller Poland and bigger East Germany wouldve been smart

you'll never get it back, cry

What if Nazis-Soviet pact was successful? Revival old league of three emperor.
