re: #489 HappyWarrior

It already is amazing that they had that many volunteers in the occupied nations despite their overt hatred of those peoples. Now just imagine if they kept it under wraps and used the Anti-Soviet as a driving force. A lot of European right wingers with the notable exception of Churchill did see the Nazis as the lesser evil versus the Soviets.

Churchill and Patton both thought the best plan for the immediate post-war situation was to rearm the Wehrmacht, turn them East, and use them as the front ranks in a war with the Soviets.
