” Patton wanted to arm the Germans to fight Russia, foreseeing the evil Not sure if that was feasible,”
I believe you’re thinking of Patton saying that he could have defeated Stalin with his own troops. And that was hyperbole of the highest order. Patton knew something about logistics and supply lines and just from that perspective there wasn’t the slightest chance that this would work. Not to mention that American soldiers were extremely eager to get home ASAP. They had no illusions about the romance of war by that point, they were just glad to be alive.
Not only, but was reported to say (profanity excised), "We are going to have to fight them sooner or later.... Why not do it now while our army is intact and the damn Russians can have their hind end kicked back into Russia in three months? We can do it easily with the German troops we have if we just arm them and take them with us."

Indeed, The Poles would have helped, but in reality it likely was too late. FDR should have only helped the Soviets enough to keep Germany from advancing, the people from starving.
