content: Cause it was fuckin' WORLD War where practically every Nation in the WORLD was trying to obliterate 1 country. What kind of war strategy is it to just let them go because it looks like your losing? Show us even one recorded instance ever where one side of a conflict says, "fuck it cut them loose we're losing".  Why didn't the allies "just let them all go" after they completely disarmed the German army instead of herding them into an open field and leaving them to die of exposure and dehydration?  More European axis soldiers died after the war than during it. They should have never surrendered, they were all marked for death anyway. I hope we have all learned that one lesson from our studies here. Fight To The Death, they're just gonna kill you anyway
