More accurate: Socialists will always choose to side with fascists over liberals, because they really just want authoritarianism.

Though it's probably more accurate to say "tankie" isntead of "socialist", but since you're referring to tankies as socialists, I'll do the same.

The great day of victory over Germany has come. Fascist Germany, forced to her knees by the Red Army and the troops of our Allies, has acknowledged herself defeated and declared unconditional surrender.

Yeah... after Stalin worked with Hitler to carve up Poland. It was only when Hitler attacked Stalin that he begrudgingly got on the Allied side. Poland still got fucked by that asshole though.
