That Stalin was a scumbag is irrelevant : Britain and the US never had any objection to ally with scumbags against other scumbags . Besides : Stalin killed Russians, which was not the problem of Britain and the US .
Stalin was the perfect ally for the Wallies : he killed a lot of Germans who otherwise would have killed a lot of Britons and Americans .
The ceasefire of the Wallies with Germany was excluded as was after the war Operation Unthinkable : during 6 years the population of Britain and the US was brainwashed with stories about the bad Germans and the good Russians . To change this would need a new brainwashing of the good Germans and the bad Russians .
