Patton felt like we may have fought WW2 against wrong enemy. At end of WW2 when Russians were raping snd murdering hundreds of thousands of Germans, Patton was disgusted. He drew up plans to defeat the Soviet’s and felt like we could beat them and should fight them then rather than later. Soviet’s had strong Army to be sure, but their air power and logistics were strained. United States could have had Moscow in a manner of months.
After the war, Patton did not like punishing Germans and demonizing those who in his eyes did nothing wrong. War criminals and real SS were scum in his eyes, but the common German was largely innocent and a good people being raped, pillaged, and literally put into slavery (look up French taking German slaves post war).
Patton not wanting to oversee the atrocities against Germans was ousted into a higher up political position. Officials wanted to shut him up as he mouthed off constantly about the Soviet threat.
Conveniently he was killed in a car crash with a large military truck not but a few months after wars end.
Never forget: we didn’t win WW2. Soviet’s did. And it cost us dearly, and still does. WW2 was largely a European Asian power struggle of Bolshevism verses Fascism. Bolshevism/communism was spreading like wildfire. France, Spain, Italy, Germany all had huge pockets of communists and conflict of not even civil war over it like Spain. These fires continue to rage.
If Patton saw where we were know, he’d kick us in the ass and say told you so you dumb fucks. France is basically a communist country, as are many European countries. UK is a freedom less communist hell hole, that only pretends to be anything else. Europe is basically almost lost, but has rose colored glasses on. United States is now starting to fall as well.
Patton realized that WW2 was really all about the expansion of socialist satanism just like WW1 had been. It worked out really well for the socialists and really badly for the Germans. Of course, they needed to be punished for that whole Reformation thing anyway.
