"what was the Patton plan?"

To take the SS (largely intact and willing) and attack Russia.

A moral compromise I am happy we did not make, regardless of how foul Russia was. It would have bitten us somehow, somewhen.

Patton said (of the bomb) "give me two of them things and we'll take care of the communists now - because we'll only have to do it after they have these things too."

No wonder he was the most feared by the Nazis ( and commies).
