Of course, you won't find any of that in the "official history books," just like you never learned about it your whole life. There is a reason for that, of course.
Patton's views became known because (a) he was outspoken, and (b) he wrote letters this wife and family members expressing his views, which were published in a book titled "The Patton Papers."

I was responding to your comment about fighting on the wrong side which I interpreted to mean you thought Patton was saying we should have been allies with German Nazis not enemies against them.
Yes, in the final hour, once he got to Berlin to see for himself, he realized he had been lied to. The Germans were good people, and we should have been fighting with them against communists, who were absolute monsters, who raped, tortured, and murdered routinely.
That's the point I was making. I doubt Patton was saying he would have joined forces with Hitler. But, he said we shouldn't have stopped with Germany but should've kept going into Russia to stop the communists.
That doesn't necessarily mean he wanted to fight WITH Hitler, but it does mean either he didn't see the Germans as an enemy at all, or at least not much of an enemy compared to the communists.
Some of his statements indicate he decided the Germans were good people, which to me means he thought he was tricked into fighting them.
Not sure what you meant by that, because the sentence is not clear.
Patton was very clear that once he got to Berlin, he was shocked at how good the German people were and how nasty the jews were.
He realized that the communist soviets were jews and that we needed to wipe them out and kill communism before it could take over Europe.
He was right.
Seems like you know this, but that sentence seemed a little odd to me.
Any citations to that claim?

That wouldn’t have anything to do with the publisher Maxwell House, who makes American schoolbooks, being Robert Maxwell’s company, would it?
What countries was he a triple agent for?

Well, he said, "We fought the wrong enemy."
That doesn't necessarily mean he wanted to fight WITH Hitler, but it does mean either he didn't see the Germans as an enemy at all, or at least not much of an enemy compared to the communists.
