that a serious question ...
cause hate is bad for you, mkay. Never watched Star Wars ? Dark side and all. No hate. Its bad for you mkay.
To be more serious parts of the things you mention sound to me like propaganda. The same happend in the west during the *50s you know the evil comunist empire and all, Reggan area. Or McCarthynism. Letz not go in to that ground. Thats nothing more but unhistorical and unethical comparisions. Who was worse. Who made the bigest lies. Who is the worse (sub)human and has the better politics. In the end we arrived at 2010. Without nuclear war. Thats all what counts. Its not 1910 anymore. And all systems that only go for the extrem proved to be either corrupt or flawed ~ which includes American Capitalism just as it does Soviet Comunism. Durint the cold war it was for both systems important to keep the population at bay and fear proved to be here a valuable tool. Sadly many of the politic phrases by both sides still roam inside the heads of a view people. I know Americans, Russians, Kaukasians, Indians, and quite a lot of moslems. Its all the same to me. What do I care from where they come or what their nations did. Its the people one should value. Not their history. Or the lack of it. I know my deal. Such thinking and bigotry killed a lot of people on the balkan. And it never did anything good. You know some serbian guy just has to go to the crotian he has as neighbour and slize his throat open cause a croatian killed in 1945 his grandfather. I dont see the reason behind that.
*But just about Patton. He was Nuts. And people knew that. It was usefull as long the war was going but he got removed quite fast from service after that and some believe he even comited suicide. Also Berlin was left to the Reds if you remember history carefully. The US did gave the Soviets Berlin for as they rushed to Bavaria and the Alps after the victory on the Rhine in fear of eventualy hidding remenant forces and most important to aquire any technology / scientists that have been left behind by the German Reich ~
In 1945 "national redoubt" was the English term used to describe the possibility that German dictator Adolf Hitler and armed forces of Nazi Germany (Wehrmacht) would make a last stand in the alpine areas of Austria, Bavaria and northern Italy in the closing months of World War II in Europe. In German this concept was called the Alpenfestung (Alpine Fortress). Although there was some German military planning for a stand in the Alpine region, it was never fully endorsed by Hitler and no serious attempt was made to put the plan into operation.
