He never lived to see the cold war.
There weren't any "war criminals" during the cold war, because the cold war WAS NOT a war. The Cold War was simply a term that politician's came up with regarding the arms race between the communist super powers and the United States and it's allies. The Cold War was actually an ARM's RACE; a military stand-off...who could out do the the other. Who could make the best jet...who could build the best submarine...who could reach the moon first.

Winston Churchill warned President Roosevelt not to trust Stalin and not to let him get to Berlin. Roosevelt did not listen to Churchill. It is doubtful Roosevelt could have stopped him from taking over the Eastern Bloc anyway. It would have been better for Europe if they had not been taken over by the Communists. There are still six countries which are communist countries. The United States had a real issue with communism which is how we ended up in Viet Nam and Korea in another bunch of wars. So I doubt the Cold War would have been prevented with the mindset of the American leaders.
To prevent them from being made into war material.
