Patton also believed in reincarnation. No American was willing to die for Nazi allies Hungry, Romania, Bulgaria and the Baltic republics which soiled their cause during the war years. A case can be made for trying to save Poland - but we still had Japan to fight.

"No American was willing to die for Nazi allies Hungry, Romania, Bulgaria and the Baltic republics which soiled their cause during the war years."

I don't know enough about the specific histories of these countries to address your point. But, as I said, I don't think Patton was thinking about any specific countries, he just wanted to kill Communism before it had a chance to spread further. And what better time to do it than at the conclusion of WWII? The equipment and troops were already there, and the Soviets were severely weakened. Moreover, had we invaded the Soviet Union, Russians would have joined our cause in droves. Indeed, if I remember correctly, Russian citizens, not realizing what the Nazis were all about yet, actually greeted the Nazis as liberators...that is, until the Nazis mowed them down with machine guns.

They were "Nazi allies" just like France.
