Certainly, and I'd characterize it like this. If a bunch of Nazis want to go fight my enemy, I'm not going to stop them. No matter what happened, I win out.

Yeah. Best case, they'll die in battle and there'll be fewer of them to deal with once the dust has settled. Worse case, they're fighting the enemy, making the fight easier for the rest.
