It was that or let them work for the USSR and there was a cold war on!

    That is nonsense.
    The nazis would, and did stay on the friendly US/UK nazi side unless they were captured by the Soviets.
    They could've also deservedly shot them in the face.
    But unlike the USSR most of them got rehabilitated and whitewashed.

    Maybe it was a bit too subtle, but I'm saying that was the justification within the Allies, not that I agree with it personally

    They can use some scientists as a pragmatic choice but that doesn't excuse why they saved 1000's of zero value SS troops and low ranking nazi filth. Sometimes with great effort. There is no justification for that.
    It can only be explained by them being aligned and protecting them.
