Time traveling villans and Nazis

Has anyone noticed how every story in comic books or tv shows or books that involves villains or hostile aliens going back through time to World War 2 to try to take over the earth or something like that, they always align themselves with the Nazis? The two most recent ones I can think of are the Justice League arc with Vandal Savage and the Enterprise arc where the Temporal Cold War is resolved. Are they stupid or something? Why the hell would they help the losing side? Why don’t they ever align themselves with the Allies? If they’re smart enough to build a time machine they should be smart enough to pick the winning team.If I was a super villain and I traveled back to WW2 to try to take over the world, I would align myself with the Allies, probably the Soviets. I would help Stalin build war machines to smash the Axis powers and conquer… err I mean liberate all of Europe and Asia so that the Soviet Union would emerge from the war as the world’s savior and sole super power. The glorious red revolution would then slowly envelop the globe, crushing the western powers, leading the way to a glorious Soviet Empire that will reign supreme under my vigilant gaze *insert maniacal laugh*. The so-called heroes would be helpless against my might. They can’t help the Axis powers and if they somehow overthrow me, which is highly unlikely, they would throw the Soviet forces into chaos, giving the Axis powers a chance to win on the eastern front, prolonging the war and sending millions to their deaths. Anything those “heroes” do to thwart me would only worsen the situation. That's a diabolical plot for world domination worthy of a true super villain mastermind. *insert evil maniacal laugh*
