The part that begins, "after the first week" refers to the depredations of the Soviet military against the German population in the immediate aftermath of the war. This time period is covered in a book by Thomas Goodrich called "Hellstorm". From the description:
Readers will witness for themselves the fate of German women as the rampaging Red Army raped and murdered its way across Europe–all females, from “eight to eighty” feared the dreaded words, “Frau Komm.”
In the German race, there is nothing but evil. Use force and break the racial pride of these German women. Take them as your lawful booty. Kill!
A Bolshevik of the old school. It goes way downhill from there.
A documentary film was made from the book, and I listened to an interview of Goodrich and the filmmaker. I will never watch the film; the interview was more than enough. At one point the filmmaker admitted that there are parts of the film he will not watch himself.
IIRC, about 12 million ethnic Germans are estimated to have been exterminated by various means during the immediate postwar period. Surprised you've never heard this? I sure was. But then again 12 million < 6 million, is it not?
I think at the end, Patton figured out that the US should have teamed up with Germany and conducted a "special military operation" to cleanse Russia of a certain "savage" element infesting it. No wonder he had a minor car accident.

I've never read the book and I'll tell you why: this book review was horrifying enough: Hellstorm: The Rape and Mass Murder of German Women after WWII. The review opens with this quote from Ilya Ehrenberg, Jewish propagandist in the Stalin regime:
