If you could show every WW2 soldier what their victory would cause, most would not fight. Literally.

Zoomer Historian has a video discussing a book about this. The White British troops surveyed back in the early 2000s (if I remember right) were asked how they felt about their service in WW2. The overwhelming majority hated the current state of Britain, and wouldn't have fought against the Germans. Among the hundreds surveyed, only 3 had a positive outlook on their military service in WW2. Apparently, the bomber crews were more likely to have a positive outlook, as they didn't see or meet the Germans face to face. Of the Allied soldiers who did meet the Germans, most had a positive view of them.

I wonder what Allied troops POWs preferred to be captured by?
Anyone but the orientals
I believe Italy, while it was allied, was known for treating PoWs well. With their crippling chronic backstabbing disorder throughout history, most of their PoWs were allies at one point, or would become allies in short order soon.
