EDIT: no, I don't sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they're losing an argument ;)

Exactly! You can't just divide the world into "fought against the Nazis" and "didn't fight against the Nazis" and use that as your entire basis of morality. By that same logic, America is the Good Guys™ and has absolutely zero neo-Nazi problems because they destroyed Imperial Japan and fought against the Nazis, right?
It's completely possible to fight against the Nazis and still be evil yourself (cough cough Stalin), or the reverse where the Finns technically cooperated with the Nazis, but only because the USSR was literally doing a colonialism against Finland and the Nazis happened to be the only ones fighting the USSR at the time.
Morality and history are not black and white, despite these lemmygrad users' naked attempts to coerce them into being such.
"Better than Hitler" is really, REALLY not a great flex
Careful where you speak such truths friend, the Pronoun Patrol would've thrown you to the gulags if it was in their instance.
