A Tainted Victory

The years from 1943 to 1945 were the cataclysmic crux of the 20th Century's war of the world. But the defeat of the German and Japanese empire states was less of a victory for morality than we tend to assume. The Allies were forced to make terrible compromises to defeat fanatical enemies. Could the Allies only win by adopting the same inhuman methods as the dictators?
