      There is considerable historical evidence, both written and anecdotal, from Nazi Party and OKW staff that with Hitler out of the way, the German leadership would have sued for peace immediately with the Western Allies and frame their necessity for continued existence to serve as a bulwark against Russian Bolshevism.

        the German leadership would have sued for peace immediately with the Western Allies (*) in 1944, when most casualties and atrocities had already happened, and the war was lost anyways. Like Operation Valkyrie wasn’t put into place until July 1944… They were perfectly fine with the atrocities until the war tide turned.
