    That's because you won't ever see any threads about the gulags or executions under Stalin.



    The difference between the Allies and Germans is, as already mentioned, when the Germans conquered a country, the deportations and mass exterminations began, when the Allies liberated countries, only the top leadership were put to a fair trial.
    That depends on what allied nation you're talking about. Many enthusiastically cleansed themselves of ethnic Germans and/or murdered German POWs; and no allied nation gave the Germans anything close to a fair trial. Even assuming you're only discussing the Western Allies, discounting the bombing of Axis cities simply because they ran out of population centers to decimate and won the war is highly selective morality if I've ever seen it. If the Germans had accomplished their goals, the Holocaust would have eventually had to come to an end as well..
