Franco’s Spain existed at the same time as USSR, and fascist state was deemed a vacation spot while the USSR was a existential threat. That was the moment when my mind went… wait, what.
It make perfect sense when you ask the question: “for which class?”.
What we see happening with the collective west today makes a lot more sense when you know the history.
There’s a reason why Ursula is called the Nazi princess 🇪🇺
Her lineage is impressive.
A blend of the worst imaginable from the US side (slavery) and European side (anti workers and nazism).
The real western royalty

shitty country, but fantastic novel and mockumentary. :p
Imagine RFKjr running WHO
It was that or let them work for the USSR and there was a cold war on!
The USSR also ‘paperclipped’ some Nazis for their scientific knowledge, do you know what they didn’t do, that the US did? give them lives of luxury and:
Put a high ranking Nazi slaver in charge of a government agency(Wernher von Braun & NASA) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun#Slave_labor
Use a Nazi High Command General as their main source for the history of the eastern front(Franz Halder & the US Army Historical Division, the origin of the ‘Clean Wehrmacht’ and ‘Soviet Human Wave attacks’ myths)
As the Cold War progressed, the military intelligence provided by the German section of the US Army Historical Division became increasingly important to the Americans.[62] Halder oversaw the German section of the research program which became known as the “Halder Group”.[63] His group produced over 2,500 major historical manuscripts from over 700 distinct German authors detailing World War II.[58] Halder used the group to reinvent war-time history using truth, half-truth, distortion and lies.[59] He set up a “control group” of trusted former Nazi officers who vetted all the manuscripts and, if necessary, required authors to change their content.

Install a Nazi High Command General as Chairman of the military alliance they’re the dominant power in(Adolf Heusinger & NATO)
He served as the Operations Chief within the general staff of the High Command of the German Army in the Wehrmacht from 1938 to 1944
In April 1961, he was appointed Chairman of the NATO Military Committee[6] in Washington, DC

For a few examples
That is nonsense.
The nazis would, and did stay on the friendly US/UK nazi side unless they were captured by the Soviets.
They could’ve also deservedly shot them in the face.
But unlike the USSR most of them got rehabilitated and whitewashed.Maybe it was a bit too subtle, but I’m saying that was the justification within the Allies, not that I agree with it personally
They can use some scientists as a pragmatic choice but that doesn’t excuse why they saved 1000’s of zero value SS troops and low ranking nazi filth. Sometimes with great effort. There is no justification for that.
It can only be explained by them being aligned and protecting them.
