The Soviets were our "Allies" in name only. General Patton knew their true colors and wanted us to go into Prague and help those people but wasn't allowed to. Eisenhower and Bradley used Patton and then threw him away. By this time, we had won the war but the bottom line was that one dictator (Hitler) was replaced by another (Stalin). Look at Poland-those poor people went through two hells and it wasn't until R. Reagan, John Paul II, M. Thatcher and others, did they gain their freedom.

You got that right. My grandfather served under Patton (got both chewed out and praised by him) and always realized what a great leader he was and that he had the foresite to see that the commie's were as bad as the Nazis..
