Not just the US, though Nazi soldiers intentionally tried to end up as US POWs rather than anything else, and avoided being Soviet POWs rather than anything else.

Not just the US

Yeah, their Western vassal states also, and areas under its neocolonial sway.

Nazis were afraid of the Soviets because the Red Army knew there was only one way to deal with facsists. Unlike the US who valued fascists and utilized them extensively during the cold war to fight against socialist movements particularly in Latin America and Africa.

Though it is very on brand for a pro-US clown to stamd up for their pet fascists
