For a very brief moment the USA was too communist for killing nazis. They realized this and instead enlisted their help in making bombs and rocket ships.

to be fair, America only joined the Soviets in killing nazis after about 19 years of the American bourgeoisie:
helping them rise to power
selling them Ford motor cars
selling them IBM computers (which they used to build punch card databases of holocaust targets)
selling them weapons
deporting german jewish refugees back to germany
writing op eds in the new york times about how hitler was a super clever centrist merely using antisemitism to rile up his dumb base
countless other things i can't think of right now.
England/America's role in continental Europe in WW2 wasn't defeating the nazis so much as racing the Soviets to Berlin so they could do damage control on the spread of Communism, and then setting up rat lines for the nazi war criminals to escape to South America or, even worse, go on to have lucrative roles in NATO, the EU, the CIA, NASA, etc.
