It was a Kangaroo Court. They didn't touch people they thought were useful to them after the war.

For example, none of the Unit 731 Scientists were charged and were even granted immunity under the Americans. Only the Soviets wanted to punish them.

Similarly, there was Operation Paperclip that saved many Nazis from falling into Communist hands.

Using German scientists is completely different than allowing Hitler to live let alone "rule" Germany. I remember reading a Dailymail article from 1945 about Hitler's death and he was already being referred to as on of the the most evil man in history. Hitler would have been executed or life jail sentence. He would never accept being a puppet state to America either even if he had the option.
