Sorry to burst your bubble, but, there are no allegories. And maybe I might be a little less sure of this f you would explain your examples. Because I just can't see how Isengard=Germany, and Gondor=England, if England was constantly fighting Germany yet in TTT Gondor was fighting the forces of Mordor and not Isengard. Not only that, Germany took over Poland very early in the war, yet in TTT, Rohan fights (the forces of) Isengard and defeats them, so Rohan=Poland and Isengard=Germany does not make sense. And Russia was apart of the Allies, fighting Germany, but in TTT, Mordor does not have a coalition or an alliance with Rohan, Gondor, or the Ents.
And it doesn't make sense anyways because Tolkien said that this was not an allegory. Mordor and Sauron would make more sense as the nazis and Hitler, but again, it is not so. Sorry...
