Given some of the things he said about DPs, let’s hope it’s Winnie.

DPs? Did Patton have strong opinions about double penetration?

He said some pretty fucked up stuff about liberated camp prisoners (Displaced Persons).

So far as the Jews are concerned, they do not want to be placed in comfortable buildings. They actually prefer to live as many to a room as possible. They have no conception of sanitation, hygiene or decency and are, as you know, the same sub-human types that we saw in the internment camps.

"...by the scurrilous attacks made on me by the non-Arian press"

But he did know what side he was supposed to be on, right?

It’s gotta be kept in mind that ‘stopping the Nazis from murdering people’ wasn’t the top of most people’s reasons to fight the Nazis at the time. Heck, one reason the Roosevelt administration initially covered up reports about the Holocaust presented to them by the Polish government-in-exile was to not make it look like they were fighting a ‘war for Jews’ as the isolationist press and German propaganda accused them of. A lot of the US establishment would have been quite happy to see the Nazis murder half of Europe, so long as they had an actual assurance that they would keep it to their side of the ocean and not go global with it. (And not just the US establishment; the Soviets, of course, were helping Hitler with his murders as long as they could, and the Entente, well, their record speaks for itself)

Hitler fucked himself over more by breaking deals and making that kind of assurance untenable than by his actual atrocities.

Israel follows the rules of war, it relies on airpower yes, but it goes further than even most western nations in alerting civilians in target areas (yes, often militarized civilian structures which voids their protection).

NCD knew that the last time I was here. Perhaps that has changed and you've all abandoned democrafic oversight for terror.

But, your votes are fairly even at least.
