Why did germans forces surrender en masse to u. s. and british forces rather than to the soviets toward the end of the war? a. germans did not want to become communists. b. germans wanted to be captured by capitalists. c. germans knew u. s. and british forces were better supplied and therefore more likely to properly feed and shelter their prisoners. d. germans knew that the soviets would make them pay for the brutality they had inflicted upon russian civilians.

Answer is D

Explanation:

Because the Germans had killed off a lot of innocent Soviets which the Soviets wanted the Nazi people to pay for by executing or torturing the Nazis before execution. But the British and U.S. forces would not execute as many because the Germans did not execute them

roosevelt essentially took the opposite approach as hoover in taking on the great depression. herbert hoover thought that america and its economy could naturally recover from the depression in due course, so he adamantly restrained the federal government from intervening on behalf of the people affected. on the other hand, roosevelt dramatically increased employment by expanding the federal government and establishing agencies that would aid in relieving some of the country's worst problems.

living during the great depression had a major affect on the mentality many people. a good portion of people who lived during that time do not trust banks. this is likely the result of the many widespread bank failures in the 30s that caused people to lose their life savings.
