Stop and think. I was referring to the period after Hitler was vanquished and the rank and file German troops knew the war was over. They surrendered to US forces much more readily than to Russian forces cuz they knew that the Russians would be about as hard on them as continuing to fight would be. Whereas the Americans had a reputation for mercy and decency. That reputation almost certainly saved American lives.
