I think for many in the Roosevelt administration and for left-wing Democrats generally the Soviet alliance was a positive thing. For Churchill, and certainly for me, it was strictly an "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" alliance.

The repatriations to the Soviet Union were certainly not our finest hour. I suppose if we hadn't agreed to it, however, Stalin would not have sent home the British and American POW's they liberated.

Good point. No chance of Stalin’s doing the right thing just because it was the right thing.
