Oh I didn’t mean to imply that the Allies were all nice and cosy or anything. I was just pointing out the difference between a belief in soft power and a belief in hard power, and how those ideologies extended into technological research. The Allies believed in control through soft power and that kind of systems-based approach put engineers and scientists higher in the social-political hierarchy while the hard power approach of the Nazis put them much lower. Edit: as far as Russia is concerned it seems to me that they won their front through sheer endurance in the face of the most horrifying trauma. I’d say they were more into hard power than the US and UK so… yea maybe I should be more specific when I talk about the Allies.
