How did allied governments manage to sway their people to such a radically different opinion of ordinary people which suffered so much?
I understand dehumanizing the commie governments, but why the people?
To contrast, the soviet population did vilify the western governments and military, however saw the western population as peers who deserved the same respect just as anybody else.

>The Soviet doctrine explicitly stated that Germans are a decent hard-working nation of proletarians who merely got "seduced" by the capitalist fascists - contrary to the vile, rabidly Germanophobic crap of the western allies (Germany the eternal aggressor nation, all Germans guilty forever, Hitler merely a symptom of German militaristic culture etc.) I remember seeing an old 1950s or 60s West German propaganda brochure which basically insinuated the DDR is the successor of the Third Reich where "Hitler's spirit is still alive."
Hmmm

That's funny, the DDR were saying the same thing about West Germany

Comes naturally bud, the government didn't have to brainwash anyone. You love your allies, hate your enemies

I understand that due to the ideological war, you would have resentment, but how could they ditch the "we fought and suffered together" empathy towards the soviet regular civilians?

Because that sympathy only came into being in the first place due to pro Soviet propaganda during the war.
