trust me, bro:

here is the receipt.

the claim

General Patton stated that the Allies defeated the wrong enemy

the verdict

DISPUTED

the quote archives themselves record the doubt

Wikiquote records this attribution to General Patton as DISPUTED: the archive itself currently sets out doubt about whether they said it. It is unknown if Patton ever said these precise words. However, Anthony Cave Brown notes in "Bodyguard of Lies Volume II" (1975), p. 802, that "Patton was relieved of command of the 3rd Army by Eisenhower just after the end of the war for stating publicly that America had been fighting the wrong enemy— Germany instead of Russia", the accuracy of the book is disputed.
