Isn't the initial post the premise of the old book "when bad things happen to good people?" I'm pretty sure the author's reasoning is the same and he also concludes that God does not have the capability to control individual events.
I question the idea that "God knew the allies would win" - does this mean he had some hand in the allies winning or just that he knows the future? If the former, then I would be very disappointed in God (assuming I believed in him) - he could have let the Allies win much sooner and saved millions of innocent lives. If the latter, I'm not sure the relevance to this discussion.
