  1. Because they couldn't support REGICIDE - a change of government, by assasination.  Supporting regicide during WWI I would legitimize the practice in other countries, and so would only bring more personal danger to Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin - Churchill already was paranoid about it at this time; he had several look-alikes in action, and often used actors in his place over radio.

    Now, why no protests, over the killing of Mussolini?  Because he wasn't the leader of the Italian government.  The OFFICIAL leader of Italy was Marshall Badoglio (sorry about  name spelling), who was on the side of the Allies by then.  Similarly, there have been cases where the state has offered rewards for the death of political leaders - Elizabeth I for Philip II of Spain on each other,  Bush and Sadaam Hussein on each other - but each of these cases were state-sanctioned violence (like capital punishment), not regicide.


  2. Can i first point out that there is no such person as Adolph Hitler.....However there was a man named Adolf Hitler.

    And i would like to say that I would be glad too that Hitler had survived. Stalin was a far bigger a***hole than Hitler. Hitler was the only person alive who could slow the Russians progress. Stalin of course wanted to conquer Europe, he claimed it was for protection, but i think just about everyone with a brainstem knows that was a load of old b******s.

    What you have to understand is that at the time Stalin was conquering Europe like a row of dominoes and the Russian army was far superior to even the second best army in the world. The second best of course being Hitlers. However Hitler had enough power to slow down the reds, but not stop them. If Hitler had died, the likelihood of Europe and the world become Stalin-topia was very great indeed, infact it was inevitable. That is why the allies were happy that he survived, so that they could reinforce the army of the eastern front and build up troops that could eventually try to stop Stalins reds. It was of course known at this time that Hitler would loose, and they knew the Russians would be the ones who got to Berlin and the Fuhrerbunker first, so that meant that the Russians would take Berlin and declare Germany a communist state. It could of been rebuilt in a matter of days with the money Stalin had, and if Germany fell to communism then so would all the countries, weak from fighting, surrounding it, then eventually Europe. At least if Hitler lived they had more time to build up and army and stop the Russians. Of course naturally you should know that they did not entirely stop the Russians who claimed 1/4 of Germany and Berlin and set up the Berlin wall, which helped the growth of communist of the eastern side.

    I think your question however puts an entirely wrong point that the Russians were happy that he survived. They were not really. Although his living meant they could make vast demands of land in return for withdrawing. Although they knew that Hitler would rather die then give into them, which infact he did do eventually. This negotiation of land also interested other countries, although they all knew how much of a demanding b****r Hitler could be, and knew negotiations were unlikely, but possible.

    And after reading through my question I have discovered it to be confusing, so basically Hitler surviving meant that he could hold off Stalin’s reds a little longer whilst the allies rounded up strong troops ready to fight and stop him when Hitler finally lost. If Hitler had died, Stalin would of conquered Europe.

    Oh and i forgot to point out that everyone hated communism worse than n**i-Facism, thats why they wanted Hitler to hold him off for a while. So they could prepare to kick Stalins russian a**e. And i hate communims too, which is why i was happy that Hitler lived.

  3. The reason they were glad that Hitler didn't die in July 1944 is because he was fully in charge of the German military and making all of the decisions.  By that time Hitler's mind for military matters was seen even by his own generals as having degraded significantly.  It was Hitler's initial reluctance to send armored divisions to better defend Normand because he was convinced the invasion would not occur there.  This was a major reason for the success of the Allies, not having to deal with armored divisions when they landed helped them gain ground and by the time they tanks arrived the invasion was well under way.  Hitler was not a great military strategist and by 1944 his mind was no longer very sharp yet he wouldn't give up control of the military.

    His generals wanted to kill him and take control, if this had happened it would have made things more difficult for the Allies having better strategists running things for the Germans.  This is the reason Churchill, Roosevelt & Stalin were glad he didn't die in the assassination attempt.

  4. That'd be the end of the war and those three mental patients wanted to prolong Germany's suffering.Nice company Churchill and Roosevelt kept,Stalin a psychotic murderer who murdered at least 20 million of his own people.Who's the real villain?

  5. so the red army would be weaker,as Churchill wanted to take Stalin on
