  • There are many famous and controversial figures to emerge from World War II, but General S. Patton is arguably one of its most controversial. During World War II, Patton commanded victorious battles in the Mediterranean, North Africa, and mainland Europe.
    But even though he had won famous victories and employed effective strategies during WWII, Patton was also known for his many controversies that included slapping shell shocked soldiers and sending a doomed task force to free his son-in-law from a POW camp. However, few would have thought that this man of war would die in a hospital bed after a car crash. This is the tragic death of General S. Patton.

Not to mention that General Patton had a cut on the back of his neck. According to the books, the shooter used a heavy, low speed bullet to break his neck. Is it true? IDK, as I wasn't there.

      @@stevenbass732 I have done my own research and feel quite differently. There was a lot of secrecy surrounding the crash because the guy who hit the car Patton was in was drunk and was a soldier in the army and Patton did not want to get the guy in trouble. A few years ago Patton's daughter was on a TV show and confirmed this story. There were 2 different hospitals with one being further away than the other but Patton asked to be taken to the one further away because it was a military hospital. I found nothing out of the ordinary of the injuries Patton suffered. HIs wife also did not have an autopsy done on Patton after he died so she didn't suspect anything either. The secrecy surrounding the crash is what started the conspiracy theories.

      Do you honestly think that the American public, not to mention the politicisans, having just seen Germany defeated, and war in the Pacific remoresely and brutally still going on, would then want to carry on fighting, this time against Russia?
      I think the armchair generals here have no idea as to what that would involve.
      They would have had to fight the Russian army, probably four times the size of the US Army in Europe at that time, expell them from Germany, fight them all the way through Poland before they even got to the Russian border, and then be at the starting point where the Germans were when they attacked Russia in 1941. The German army, then the most powerful effective army in the world, fought savagely but could not even take Moscow or Stalingrad, which if you look at the map, are only a small part of the way into Russia,
      You will argue that nukes could have been used - no way, after the two were dropped on Japan, three months after war in Europe was over, there were no nuclear bombs left, and it would be several years before there was any stock to deploy.
      The uncomfortable truth is that in May 1945, the most powerful force in central Europe was the Red Army and there was nothing that the US and their allies, could do about it but resist it without going to war, by creating and maintaining NATO, and successfully seeing the end of Soviet Communism in due course, without firing a shot.

    Patton was I feel and believe the greatest General and had great and larger than life charisma. His worlds were big and he meant everything he said and was a man of action. There's no way he could have lived much longer without fighting in a war and when he wanted to take troops and march into the USSR and push Stalin out of eastern Europe, his actions would have helped avert the cold war. He knew Stalin was evil and a murdering dictator and couldn't be trusted. It can not be ruled out that someone who was Patton's enemy head or set up to cause the accident that got him paralyzed and ultimately causing his premature death.

    He was taken into war right away from classroom at school at the age of 16, first serving at the 8,8 FLAK near Frankfurt, a year and a half later being sent deep into Russia (being on a train for about 10 days, heading to the east). He ‚celebrated‘ his 18th birthday running for his life between German and Russian tanks and exploding grenades, losing the golden watch of his father that German army postal service had delivered to him only a few days before to his post.
    Later in war, must have been early 1945, when the remainder of his unit had merged with others, all together desperately trying to escape from the Russian army that was quickly moving towards the west, they found themselves (somewhere in Czechia) nearly completely surrounded by Russian units. On one particular day during this deadly hunting by the Russians (my dad called this day the first of only 2 lucky days during his war time!) their spotters had identified an armada of armed vehicles heading towards them from the far distance, and they thought they where now completely trapped by the Russians. But those troops were US troops, and they had spotted the German unit, too. So, the US guys sent out 1 or 2 Jeeps with white flags mounted on top of their antennas, heading towards the Germans, and a GI, fluent in German language shouted at them „Hurry up, guys! Throw away your guns. We are here to rescue all of you! We have trucks, ready to pick you up and bring you back home, hurry, hurry - we have only few hours left.“ None of the Germans knew for sure whether this was a nice trick to de-gun all of them quickly with no resistance, but they all understood within seconds that the US troops were their only ticket back home. My father described this completely unreal scene for a couple of times to me, always making it very clear that they were not taken prisoners by the GIs, instead being aided by helping US hands to climb the trucks and find a safe seat inside. The Germans have been throwing away their firearms, ammunition belts, Knifes, hand grenades while running, yes, running towards the trucks. Back behind the lines of fighting at night, all German soldiers where officially taken prisoners by announcing it to them. They needed to stay for about 2 days on a large fenced piece of farm land with only a few armed US guards, telling them ‚If you want to go somewhere, feel free. We won‘t be shooting at you. But reflect that this ground might be Russian territory in a few days from now“‘. According to my Dad, nobody even thought about escaping. Instead, rumors were going around the improvised prison camp that the US army would bring them all back home, and then, after a few weeks of relaxing would provide them US uniforms and guns to unite with the US forces to jointly go against the Russians. We all know that this never happened. And my father and all the others were treated very well by the troops of Gerneral Patton, according to his narrations. Later, when a US truck with him and other captives on board crossed a bridge over a German river, was my Dads 2nd lucky day of those terrible years of fighting and killing because they were now in the US sector.
    Interestingly, this part of WW II I never found in any history book at school. Do not know why.
    I always felt that I needed to thank someone of the US army for the rescue of my Dad. Perhaps it now finds its way to the right address, and does not fire up new theories of conspiracy which is not my intent.
    May such a terrible war never happen again and be nearly 200 million casualties of WW II be a warning to all of us - there will be no winners in such a war in the end.

    General Patton was duly "eliminated" by the Establishment at the time because of his positions against Moscow, Patton, after the defeat of the German government, called on the allies to continue marching towards Stalin's dictatorship and this angered the "allied command" at the time . Josep Stalin was a great supporter of Adolph and his regime and later on it was proven that Patton's view of this regime was very correct.

    One of the Americans who observed the strange behavior of the Amer-
    ican government was General George S. Patton. He had seen enough to
    cause him to want to resign from tbe military so that he could "say what I want to" about America's "soft on Communism" stance during the war.
    Patton knew enough about the military that he couldn't merely retire and
    speak out, because military men of high rank, even though retired, are still
    under the control of the government. This subjection to government
    authority includes their ability to speak out on the main issues of the day.
    Should Patton resign, he would be free to speak as he saw fit.
    Patton had a strong dislike for what happened as the Russians acquired
    much of Eastern Europe, and it is said by many that he was going to speak
    about this betrayal to the American people after the war was over. But, before he had a chance to resign, he was killed after an automobile
    accident caused him to be hospitalized.
    In 1979, a former undercover agent for the Office of Strategic Services,
    the OSS, gave an interview in which he claimed that he had been asked to kill
    Patton. This agent was "... Douglas Bazata, a veteran intelligence agent,
    who said he received a contract on Patton's life in 1944. According to Bazata,
    the order for the 'hit' came down to him from none other than the legendary
    Office of Strategic Services direct from [its administrator] 'Wild Bill'
    Donovan." When Bazata was asked why he was finally going public with this
    admission after so many years, he said he " . . . was in poor health and wanted
    the American people to know the truth.'
    It was Bazata's contention that, although he collected more than $10,000
    for the death of Patton, he was not responsible for Patten's actual death. He
    claimed that he knows, however, who did kill him, and that Patton was
    killed by a dose of cyanide in the hospital where he was taken after the
    automobile accident, and that it was the cyanide rather than the accident that
    took his life.

    You throw politics in here by focusing on Bill Oreilly's boOk (and mentioning Fox News I notice too) while not even mentioning Target Patton which started the whole Patton Assassination therory going again in recent years, with much more speculation on the accident being a set-up with a steel ball that left no marks being shot into Patton's neck immediately after the accident occurred.
    In any case, the reasons for killing Patton aside from his anti-Soviet stance was the fear of him talking and releasing his autobiography (as an independently wealthy man, he could forfeit his army pension and write whatever he pleased), especially speaking openly about the political decisions that cost thousands of Allied lives, like stopping in France and letting the Germans escape in September, etc.
