Wendell, history lesson is there, albeit not apparent. At the very end of the movie the usual disclaimer says that some characters are based on actual people.
Landa striking deal with American command can be considered as a metaphor for Gehlen, Arthur Rudolph or any of 10 000 Nazi war criminals who got whitewashed biographies in Operation Overcast (see "Good German") and were settled in the U.S. of A. never paying for their crimes. Essentially, denazification was a joke, most of Nazi who did not escape to U.S. were pardoned in 1948, even the biggest one found guilty at the Nuremberg tribunal. That's where reference to taking off their Nazi uniforms and getting luxury home in Nantucket.
Official history taught in schools (Nazis being punished) is not based on historical facts, and is no different from the version depicted in Basterds, a wishful thinking.
Kudos to Tarantino for saying it loud.
