It was and it was for the good of Germany. Since day one of the Bolshevik Revolution the USA knew that Communist Russia posed the real threat to the safety and stability of continental Europe. FDR was an excellent judge of his opposition and immediately recognized a simple fact: a country that would follow a one nut got with a duster mustache wasn't going to be able to hold off a foe the likes of the Reds. Allowing the Nazis to take over western Europe would inevitably lead to slowly watching Stalin's forces roll over the Third Reich until they were speaking Ruskie from Romania to Reykjavik. So they intervened, establishing a beach head in the west just in time for the fruitcake forces of the eastern front to drop the soap in the showers of Stalingrad and let Joe ride their Hershey highway all the way to Berlin. Bottom line if the US hadn't been so worried about it's imperial concerns Germany wouldn't have just been partially behind the Iron Curtain, it would have been crying itself to sleep under the Iron Stained Blanket after the Commies made them bite the Iron Pillow. Quite frankly every German who is still speaking German needs to go back in time and suck the polio right out of FDR's for the good he did.
