I totally agree with Churchill and Roosevelt after recalling what had happened in the last World War; they wanted to do anything to prevent it; Even if it meant granting murderers diplomatic immunity.
A second European front
Churchill and Roosevelt announced the policy of unconditional surrender in January 1943. This meant that there would be no conditional surrenders in the future and the governments of conquered territories would have to be completely prostrate and turn themselves over to the Allies. The decision to implement this policy had several effects: 1) It silenced criticism regarding Eisenhower's decision to agree to Darlan's proposal to stop fighting in exchange for political power and addressed public concerns/fears that the Allies might settle for an armistice instead of a complete victory. 2) It undermined "stab in the back theory" (the idea that the German people were betrayed by their politicians); it would be clear who the winners and losers were. 3) It subtly reassured Soviets that the US and Britain were serious about winning the war against the Germans and that we would not drop out of the war and leave the Soviets to fight Hitler on their own. 4) The policy eventually ended up prolonging the war by making it harder for defeated countries to surrender.
Is the decision point in an IFTHENELSE statement is called an unconditional branch.
In 1940 France had surrendered and Great Britain was in a crisis. Winston Churchill requested that US destroyers be furnished to Britain in exchange for naval base leases. President Roosevelt informed Churchill that such a deal would require Congressional authorization and it would not at that time be a wise decision to request this from the Congress.

The first Cairo Conference issued demands upon Japan summed up in a political document called the Cairo Declaration. It outlined an unconditional surrender by Japan, indubitably stirring up the last of their will to fight.

The decisive conclusion of the Pacific War through Japanese unconditional surrender came at due to three factors. The first were Truman's decision to conduct nuclear strikes against Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The second were that Japan risked invasion of its homeland from both the Soviet Union and the United States (the planed but never executed Operation Downfall). The choices between being overrun by the Soviet Union, and ending further nuclear strikes, proved instrumental in the Japanese decision to surrender to the United States.
When Union General US grant was the victor in a number of battles prior to the siege of Vicksburg, he was known for his policy of "unconditional surrender. This was not the case in the siege and fall of Vicksburg.After consulting with his generals on the two choices they had, which was to try to battle their way out of Vicksburg or surrender, the consensus was to surrender. After that decision they asked General Grant for terms of surrender. With that said, Grant realized that Vicksburg had almost 30,000 troops in the city. Dealing with all of these prisoners would have slowed down Grant's future plans to a maximum level. Grant then followed the then accepted practice of paroling the Rebel soldiers.
Japan was in total disaster after the atomic bombs and Japan had no remedy what so ever. They had to surrender.
