It was apparently said after the Allied took Berlin. That was around the time that the East and West met in the middle, and the US saw how vicious and terrible the soviets were.
This is rarely discussed, but the atrocities committed by the soviets as they invaded Germany in WWII are beyond horrific. Stalin literally sent condemned murderers and madmen to the front lines, so the barbaric nature of their actions were expected. Patton was made more and more aware over time of how terrifying Bolshevism really was, and how it needed to be stopped before it could spread.
Surely he didn't mean Nazism was fine to allow to fester while we attack the communists? Or did he feel that the German people were just as victim as any other race in Europe and didn't deserve to be out of house and home for the jews and subject to slavery, torture, and death with little to no way out (factories destroyed, women raped, shit and piss everywhere) without any representation?
If the latter is the case I can understand it. How he felt with the jews then is how we feel with the moslems in Europe now. I wish we could have killed off communism at it's source when we had the chance. Now it has spread the world over and all we can do is try to protect the plot of land we have.
