Shameful acts. Crimes in their own right. Not unique either, not unique to Patton.

In fact, there are so many allied war crimes, that if one adds up all their sordid acts, they left as many victims as the nazis took almost a week!

Oh, but that's not true. Germany and its many allies could've decided to just stay at home.
You're reading history backwards this way - Germany ended up fighting to cling on for dear life, but this can not be read backwards to absolve it. The nazis didn't start the war for survival. It was one of conquest and subjugation.
