[A/N: This is a reply to onementer who had a genuine question but because he used the word "Damn" hisment was auto-deleted and I could not reply.
He was asking "Why is MC feeling so sad about all these deaths when he''s been working in hell for so long?" I think many more of you had this question. So I will try to exin. Hector''s forte is exorcism. He doesn''t deal with killing people, he''s not a grim reaper. He exorcised and destroyed evil spirits that roam across the Omniverse. He''s so OP against dark beings that beings like Dormammu can''t even stand against him. He didn''t have any human contact after his initial death.
As for Hell, all souls that get tortured there are sinners, evil souls. He can''t feel bad for them even if he wants to. But here, he''s watching people in flesh, being killed for no reason, they are not all sinners, they were just Jews, gipsies and those Hitler considered impure. These were kids, women and old people, who had no choice over their own life.
Hector is an emotional person, he had be pretty uncaring about how fragile mortals can be, but now he got reminded.]

"Max... Max Eisenhardt," the boy replied, this made Hector realise that he failed to help a viin who became bad due to circumstances not under his control, due to constant life-threatening and traumatic situations.
He embraced the kid in his arms until he felt the boy would not cry any longer, he was nearly 13 or 14 years old after all and perhaps faced more hardship than most adults would in normal circumstances. But the truth of the matter was, there were many more kids even younger than him, some had their corpses lying in the same ditch they stood upon.
"Son, I could note here in time and save you all. But I will get you your vengeance. I will soon be headed to get Hitler out of his bunker. When I do that, I will make him parade naked in the streets of Berlin and you shall have the right to whip him, in front of the entire world. Not just him, Himmler as well." He promised Max.
Max nodded and left his embrace, he looked at the towering figure of Hector. The man seemed like a god in front of his eyes, blocking the sun from his view which made a halo behind him.
"Let''s call everyone and give a proper burial to all the dead, some of them don''t even have a family member left anymore." He suggested to Max.
Silently nodding, Max followed behind him out of the ditch. When they arrived in the camp they had put the remaining prisoners inside the cells. All of the freed people had also armed themselves to the teeth as they found out that the war was not over and Hector came all the way here behind the enemy lines just to save them.
This meant that they were still surrounded by the enemies but had no idea what was going to be their fate next. So they could only pick weapons and wait to know what Hector nned. But there was also a warm and soothing fragrance of food being cooked. The German army had a lot of rations in store, so they were cooking stew and making some bread.
He called Steve and Peggy to the side, "Any words from themand?"
Peggy nodded, "The Soviets have started their offence on eastern Belorussia (Brus)."
Hector silently sat down on the ground, prompting all the ex-prisoners to do the same. He thought in his head, ~Now that Hitler has decided to exterminate all Jews, I can''t just leave after liberating one camp. The only way out is to take over the entire Pnd, making it a stronghold of liberated prisoners. I can bring troops here too.~
He looked at them all, malnutritioned, weakened and pale, men, women and children. Then he looked at Steve and the Howling Commandos. They had more important roles to y against Hydra, he couldn''t keep them held here. On top of that, he had to return to the US, it was an election year.
However, one nce at these desperate people crushed his cold heart, how could he liberate them, give them hope and then leave them in despair? He was not an animal. But they will have to fight until he finds a solution.
"Everyone, we are in Pnd, one of the strongholds of Nazis. There are 27 main camps and more than 1,100 satellite camps in Germany, Austria and Pnd regions. Hitler has decided to exterminate all Jews, this means that as we speak, all these camps are working like machines, killing people.
"It is not possible for the Allied nes tond here right now either. So, I ask you, will you fight with me and help me take over Pnd? I do not ask you to fight at the front, I only ask you to watch my back. Will you help me liberate more like you? Will you... fight for freedom?"
"C-Can we defeat the Nazis?" a pretty woman asked, fear clear in her eyes, the horror she must have faced just due to her beauty must have been mind breaking. Her beauty, which was something she would have been proud of, was a curse ever since the Nazi invasion.
Hector nodded, "I know you all are hungry, desperate and weakened due to the torment. This is why I and my boy, Moony, will be the ones doing all the handy work. All I ask for you to do is turn this entire Auschwitz camp into an imprable fortress, I shall bring your brothers and sisters here. You all shall train, learn to shoot guns, operate tanks. We will bring the fight to the Nazis themselves inside their territory itself.
"And if any of you have any doubt about my abilities then." He got up and walked to a motorbike with a sidecar. *BOOM* He suddenly picked it up like nothing and threw it away so far that it fell outside the camp, sting into mes.
"That was not even 1 per cent of my power," he revealed.
They all gasped at this scene, hearts feeling rejuvenated again with their newfound confidence. However, Steve was worried, "Mr President, is this n feasible?"
"What other choice do we have, boy? I will find a way, I know I can. But I need you and yourmandos to return. Schmidt needs to die quick. But leave Peggy behind for a while, I need amunication officer. Being the President and staying on the battlefield for this long won''t be easy." He ordered him.
"Understood, sir." he saluted stiffly.
Peggy, however, was not as confident, "Sir, even if we somehow take Pnd, how will we defend it? We are surrounded by either Nazi Germany, Nazi-Germany upied regions or Nazi puppet countries. We will need an immense army tond here and open a front. We don''t have this many soldiers considering the uing invasion of French beaches and ongoing battles in the Pacific for taking Philippines and Guam."
This was a major problem indeed. "Come with me, Peggy, Steve, I need to talk to Phillips."
All the people were told to start burying the dead while some kept a watch. He went to the building nearby and set up amunications room. Using the satellitemunication he talked directly, "Phillips, change of n. I am going to open a new front inside Pnd territory. Hitler has decided to kill all Jews he can find as soon as possible. I need to stop that, so I will be liberating the camps one after another. How many troops can you spare?"
"I''m afraid, only a few hundred. We are spread thin already," Phillips replied.
Hector sighed, "Fine, send me a few hundred, dy the Normandynding until I give it a go. And tell Churchill to arrive at themand post in three days, I have something very important to talk to him about, this can change the entire tide of the war and not just help establish American hegemony now but for decades toe."
Phillips'' body felt goosebumps, wondering what it could be. But he suspected Hector could somewhat see the future, so he agreed, "Duly noted, General, anything else?"
"Oh, and increase the safety standards at Port Chicago in California. Keep an eye on the loading of munitions, we don''t want a big ident now, do we?" Hectormanded. [A/N: It was a big incident, 320 were killed and 390 were injured.]
To Phillips, these words sounded different, in his ear, it said, "Something big will happen for sure, stop it."
"Understood, sir" This was it, Hector could not really proceed until he had met Churchill.
"Nothing, send lots of ammunition, guns, grenades and a motorbike to me. Auschwitz will be my base of operations. Over and out,"
Putting down the headphones, he turned to look at Peggy, and she looked utterly confused as to what Churchill could do. "Peggy, do you know who is our biggest enemy in this war?"
"Japan?" she muttered.
"No, it''s the Soviets. They are opportunistic assholes. They were the ones who made deals with the Germans and divided the territory of other nations to take them over. They are as good as Nazis and Japanese expansionists. But, since this time they are on the side of the Allies, they will demand that all the territory they will gain in their war and march towards Berlin stay with them post-war.
"We won''t be able to deny them due to anti-war sentiments back home. This will create a big enemy of the free and democratic world as they aremunists. In the US, we have already caught and killed hundreds of Soviet spies in government offices and important scientific researches.
"My n is to limit the influence of the Soviets, by taking over Pnd, we shall be keeping the Soviet influence strictly in Eastern Europe." He revealed his grand n. What he didn''t say was that in the uing cold war the Soviets will be weaker.
"But... we don''t have that big of a manpower," she pointed out.
Hector just smiled, "This is where Churchilles in, Agent. We have a behemoth nation that if agrees to join the Allies wholeheartedly, can provide us with millions of soldiers. Last year I met a man named Subhas Chandra Bose, an Indian freedom fighter who was building a military force with the help of Axis powers to fight against the British Raj.
"I convinced him to join me if I can ensure his country''s freedom as well as post-war reconstruction. He has already started recruiting men after he initiated regime change. He runs the shots in colonial India right now, not Gandhi. As long as Churchill and his government agree to free the nation, India will give usplete human resources support, although not as experienced, it will help a lot."
Agent Carter was also British, and things about British Raj were no stranger to her. She was taught a lot about it in her initial spy days. "I don''t think the Prime Minister will agree, sir. He''s a very stubborn old man."
Hector justughed, walking up and lighting up a smoke, "Bwahaha... he''s got no other choice, Agent Carter, it''s either this or they will not receive a single cent in post-war help from the United States."
He walked to the window and looked outside at the many people, working with their utmost strength. "I am fully against any kind of very, be it direct or sugarcoated very, called colonialism. In the world after this World War, I shall leave no ce for colonialism. It''s a thing of the past and about time everyone moves beyond it. It''s about time Freedom and Democracy prevails."
Steve, who was standing at the side, felt a pride develop in his chest, he silently nodded at the ideals of Hector. This was exactly what he expected someone with Washington as a surname to be like. A man who values freedom above all, one who truly fights for freedom while rising above capitalistic interests.
[A/N: Here you go, huge changes to world history are happening. The Soviet Union won''t get much this time. Not to mention, the world is yet to see the Atomic Bombs. The European side of the war will end much earlier than real history because of elections in the United States.
Oh, Mao is here as well.]
[A/N: The atrocitiesmitted by Nazis in Concentration are too many and too gruesome to be written here. Just turn the notch of what I wrote by a thousand.]
