The Allies were '''not''' EnemyMine during WW2, the USA-USSR MortalEnemy thing only happened afterwards, and it's very American-centric to assume that the UK shared the USA's agenda during the war.

"Dream doesn't really play this to Rose in The Dolls House. He appears and saves her, and then later is happy to nullify her existence, but they never worked together."

Hopefully my new description will elaborate on this. He makes sure she stays alive until he can kill her, because only his killing of her can stop her being a dream vortex. Compare to Snape angrily asking Dumbledore "So you've kept him alive so that he can die at the right moment?"

"What I think the distinction you're aiming for is: Enemy Mine has people who're already hostile towards each other joining forces to deal with a common foe, and what you're looking at is wherein two sides who're thrust together by circumstance, one of which is a The Hero type while the other is more The Sociopath, end up working together despite all the evidence suggesting that B would just abandon A because A is, by their worldview, a burden." Pretty good! Hope you don't mind me putting this in the description :)
