Hollywood's unique perspective of General Patton & the USA Army’s Rev Msgr (Brig Gen) James H O'Neill 3rd Deputy Chief of Chaplains, requires a sense of humor even in the most difficult situations of War. Be sure and watch until the end of the Movie Clip. ;-)
-These Links below give a much more serious approach to how this important Military Prayer all played out in History.
An accurate Historical accounting by the WWII Rev Msgr Chaplain (Brig Gen) James H O’Neill, himself....
It’s apparent that General Patton knew how effective and imperative Christian Prayers were for success in War, and for those under his Command:

my father served under Patton during WWII... when he passed away, we found this prayer in his wallet... apparently each soldier received a copy of it on a little card... on the opposite side of the card was Christmas greetings also of a Christian nature signed by Patton.
evetz regas Absolutely cool! You can be very proud of your dad. Patton had great respect for soldiers like your dad.
My dad who is at home now( 12/7/2020 ),was with Patton also. Don’t know anything about the prayer. He was with Battery B 273 FAB 3rd Army . And he was “constantly advancing “. Btw. He peed in Hitler’s personal toilet at the Eagles Nest . His claim to fame lol
Update. January 9 my dad passed away. A great man of the greatest generation gone.
That is awesome. I know we shouldn't feel that way about out our fellow man, however this was a war that we as a United States were brought into. I hope that Gpd Had Mercy On The German Soldiers That Were Just Following Orders. AbWar To End All Wars. . ..
My grandfather(dad’s dad), knew a guy who lived in the same neighborhood as him who was in Patton’s 3rd Army.
Sir, I salute your father.
Almighty and most merciful Father we humbly beseech thee of thy great goodness to restrain this immoderate weather with which we have to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen.
Hi, there will never be another AMERICAN GENERAL like Patton again!!!!
The man was actually decorated! Fantastic scene here
I believe he was given a Bronze Star.
@@battaglino77 He was.
Great scene in the movie and basically true. The post from a military Chaplin showing the prayer was printed 250k copies to the whole 3rd army.
And he got his medal
"It is well that war is so terrible , less we grow too fond of it."~ Gen Robert E Lee
Amen
2:12 This scene always hits me hard. One minute a man is alive and the next minute, he's dead, lying alone in a snowy field thousands of miles from home. His friends and family will never see him again. He didn't want to fight and he didn't want to die, but he did, anyway. And now the other men in his company will go on to die or to kill. It just all seems so wasteful, sad, and useless.
"War is hell. You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it. "--William Tecumseh Sherman
So very true. But sometimes as in WWII, it is necessary.
The isolated score with his dialog was surreal.
That would be master composer Jerry Goldsmith.
That's why cinema is a true art form, and the best directors are great artists who know how to weave together the dialogue, the actors' performances, the score, the sound effects, the visuals, etc. to achieve just that precise effect.
You do well to point that out.
Best war movie of all time.
I am a former Marine, I am now convinced, that Gen. Patton not only loved each and everyone of his men under him, but they too loved him. Fighting for Patton would as some would say, "WOULD HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST HONOR OF THEIR LIVES"! What a joy to have had Patton as your C.O.
He only slapped and verbally abused soldiers with PTSD... Yep, that's certainly a fine expression of love. And I'm a veteran myself, and the nephew of a man who served under Patton and was awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart at Bastogne. General "Chesty" Puller (USMC) was a better General and leader, more worthy of affection than Patton. In the end, God gave Patton a fine lesson in humility...

@UCUYE9IQnmrNYvKzjMUp_cVQ I love your name, Baroness. Go f yourself.
General Patton, at the end of the day, was quite the asshole to his soldiers. In North Africa in the early days of the war especially, Patton was feared and looked at with disdain by his own men. Does that mean he wasn’t a brilliant tactical mind? Not at all, of course he was that. And of course the enemy recognized him as such and feared him. But to say Patton’s soldiers loved him would be far from accurate. It begs the age old question: is it better to be feared than loved?
@ Sam McLean Shut up. You're such an imbecile you don't even know the difference between a strategist and a tactician. Maybe you should make sure the fundamentals of your comment are accurate before posting next time.
My Dad served under Patton. He told me about that awful weather. HE also told me how they had to slow down because they ran out of fuel and supplies. He told me about the Caplan writing the prayer. Dad told me these things years before the movie came out.
Excellent and accurate scene.
But
I just loved the speech he gave right before this scene.
Scott did an outstanding job in this moving.
AND HE WRITES A GREAT PRAYER!!!!
A far cry from todays Generals.
Generals need prayers.
Great movie, Scott was brilliant
I always admired that scene [regardless of accuracy] in that he gives credit where due and bows to the higher authority.
I would say "what a great scene." But they were all great.
Justice among men and nations...
I guarentee u that any of that chaplains decendents, if their is any, has intense pride for the prayer thats hanging above the mantle...Im not religeous but i would be proud to own it..What history.
Those wanting to know the weather was 16 degrees Fahrenheit, with 8 inches of snow. Not including the windchill.
It was cold, but stopped snowing and cleared quite a bit, despite the forecast. That's the difference.
Great scene, with the kicker to include the bit on the weather the next day.
The media hated him. Some things never change.
Americans love a winner and hate a liar. Americans hate the media.
Well if you met him you would probably hate him as well.
He was short tempered, loved war, called soldiers with ptsd cowards and very antisemitic
@@rupertsmith5815 Every each of those reasons was enough to love him, particularly the last one on your list. The man was a genius
@@gdiwolverinemale2745 Well no what is there to love in hating someone for there religion? Loving war a concept about young men killing one another what is there to love?
PTSD is a serious issue especially soldiers who have seen the hell of war have you been to war ? If not how can you call them cowards ?
What is there to love in being short tempered?
And he wasn’t a military genius he was a really good general but not as good as most people build him up to be.
He was against D-Day
Is action’s on Sicily led to unnecessary British soldiers deaths and American and civilians just because he got into a race with Montgomery.
And his leadership at Metz was terrible and got held up for a month and got many of his men unnecessarily killed and he got a battalion whipped out trying to save his nephew and take glory away from other generals
@@rupertsmith5815 Perhaps you should realize the obvious .... Behind every religion, there are political and material interests of the religion practicing it
Wars are how things get done ... when everything else fails. Observe the war in Ukraine. You might think it is s stalemate, but the population is being permanently separated, thus leading to reduced tensions and clear demarcation lines
PTSD? What's that? If you do not want to participate in the fighting, then don't. The man Patton slapped survived. Many german deserters were shot or hanged on the spot. Some survived. What is the issue?
As for the rest, I am at the advantage of reading his posthumously written memoirs. You can dispute his actions until the cows come home. History is on his side. His view on Jews are equally valid
"Every Goddam Day"reply to the clergy-yep that has to be good old George-tells it like it is no matter what people think.
My Dad fought in & Survived the Battle of the Bulge; See: Dads Happiness Part one for some of his story on UA-cam please. Enjoy other Chris Phally movies when you can. Thanks for this special history and post!
He reminds me of General Stonewall Jackson…brilliant field commander and yet oddly religious.
oddly? It isn't odd at all....
@@minimusmax Exactly, anyone who's seen what men will do to each other, and has any sense, ought to hope there is a God out there to save us somehow.
Try to imagine all of the evil that hasn't befallen us, that we will be moved to give Thanks.
We fought the wrong enemy.. George s Patton.
Oh geez why do people always bring that up when we talk about ww2?
To steer the conversation away from the Nazis to the soviets.
See what the power of prayer can achieve???
Gen. JFH Indeed.. Amen my man
Yes, nothing. There is a difference between sequential events and cause and effect.
There is a long-standing principle that people can become "prayer warriors," with many people praying together for the same goal. Patton and his chaplain invited 250,000 soldiers to become prayer warriors, all fighting the same spiritual battle.
They prayed for good weather...and good weather came.
@@karazor-el6085Now where was that interesting verse in the gospels where Christ says that God 'causes his rain to fall and his sun to shine on the just and the unjust alike ....?' It seems inevitable that religious fundamentalists and militant atheists always line up in absurd polarization on these clips. Especially Americans. Patton (as Schaffner's film shows elsewhere) was a religious transcendentalist who believed in God and in reincarnation. He was also a showman who knew the value of 'faith' in motivating his troops. So try to take a mature view of this. The film clip asks us to think about paradoxes and evil and faith. This is Franklin Schaffner, not DeMille! Stop polarising! Patton died in an accident days after the war. No doubt the fundamentalists who push Deuteronomic prosperity gospel misinterpretations will avoid analysing THAT little event .....

This is how you do a scene, for anyone trying to be a Director
Well, the acting & writing are superb, but the "props" are a different story. The tanks shown are all wrong; they didn't even exist during WW II.
This is a curious scene. I doubt there is another man or general who would pray this way. His faith and experience obviously led him to a very strong faith faith in God and belief that God would give him what he needed so urgently and so on. We need men like that today.
My father was a Padre in the Canadian army. A German prisoner told him Hitler was his God. Can there be any better definition of evil in this world?
Sounds like how Republicans see Trump
So that never happened.
@@chris1pdxyou people never miss do you
how old was the prisoner?
Whenever you tell this story, do people ever look at you a bit funny?
Has anyone wondered why we haven’t won a war decisively since WWII? Could it be that we have retreated from the competitive spirit that made us great in the first place.
No, it’s because as a nation we have retreated from God.
We don’t fight wars like this anymore. We aren’t liberating nations from standing armies, we are fighting insurgencies within single nations, and nation-building is far more difficult than large scale offensives. It takes years or decades to build a national infrastructure that defends itself, as opposed to rolling back armies.
@@peadarmcmahon1275 it doesn’t help that our government is completely corrupt and wicked
@@WHATSUP7049 You just commited a deadly sin.
@@freddyboy800 how so
Once the skies opened up and the Germans ran out of gas, it was all over. The only thing the Ardennes Offensive had accomplished was prolonged the inevitable defeat of the Axis Powers in Europe. In fact, the delay gave more ground for the Soviet juggernaut to take more land by the end of the war.
Actually, it probably shortened the war. Hitler stripped out his reserves for this last offensive. So, instead of being hunkered down in a defensive position, they were out in the open.
Fantastic Analysis!
The 101st never thought they needed Patton to save them.
Aaaaa… Bull Shit…. My great uncle was damn glad to see Patton and 3rd Army
They actually said that it was true 👍
@@raymondgriffiths9766 Well, they would say that. They're 101, Screaming Eagles. If they'd been forced to retreat south They would have been saving Patton's butt!
It's the purpose of airborne troops to get surrounded. Airborne, for about 3 minutes...
Yeah because they were to crowd to admit realistically however they needed it and the allies needed it for a victory.
America has forgotten God......and we will pay a horrible price for that.
@CallMeOgmios
Right. God pardons iniquity, and he understands i believe, that not all of us should be brought down with those who are steering the car in the wrong direction. Look to the time in which God brought judgement upon Sodom and Gomorrah. He allowed Abraham and the righteous to leave and live before the city was destroyed. "Satan" as a concept is all around us, tempting us into self-destruction and sin. Whether it be entertainment, politics, or other methods of self-indulgence, we are tempted into it to subdue us and steer us away from the path of righteousness. Those who live righteous life and resist "Satan", believers or not, will be shown the light at the end of their test on Earth and granted eternal life, wealth, and prosperity in the hearth and Kingdom of the all-mighty God, Heaven. It is hard with all of the temptations on Earth, but we need to realize that there is something much greater awaiting us that we cannot even comprehend.
Omnes una manet nox I guess you skipped revelation...
yup
@CallMeOgmios Have you ever read the Old Testament...particularly, the Book of Joshua. As far as I am concerned you can keep your god.
@@markmerzweiler909 C'mon, 1) You must appreciate the Bible for its entirety, not selected passages. That is how cults are formed. 2) When you read the Bible, you must ask for the guidance of God (through the Holy Spirit). This is how God reveals himself to mankind.

In the real world it was cold and nasty
I have a prayer card that is authentic from the battle of the bulge. My grandfather was in pattons 3rd army. Does anyone know the true value of one that not a reproduction. The card is in great shape.
Wow, that would be a rare deal. Seek out museums specializing in war memorabilia. Take photos of it and attach them to an e-mail. Ask for collectors from them, they may have a listing. Auction houses would be another go-to.
Pawn Stars. Chumley or Rick
Kiss that prayer card goodbye before you insert it into world history. I might suggest a DC museum that has WW2 section, battle of the bulge. It will be read by 100s of 1000s of people over the next 100 years.

The flamethrower scene was horrible! What a wicked weapon to use on humans. Glad they banned them but have not banned war.
Hal Elo In war people do things that would never dream of doing otherwise....Mark Twain wrote a story about it
From what I understood the FT was banned due to the vulnerability of the tanks on the soldiers backs. T
hey seemed like an accident waiting to occur.
@@coolcat1684 My uncle was a WWII combat veteran and he told me the same thing. He said that war will make you behave like an animal and do things you wouldn't even think of doing in civilian life. He told me one story where he saw an American and German soldier engaged in hand-to-hand combat. My uncle took out his pistol, went up behind the German soldier, put the pistol to his head and blew his brains out. My uncle said he didn't even hesitate or flinch or feel anything while doing it but that after the war he could hardly believe he did such a thing.
War is cruel. A war fought humanely is an oxymoron.
@@coolcat1684 “The War Prayer”, 1905. Twain decreed that this short story be published after his death. Here is a short, excellent animated film of the story: ua-cam.com/video/IRVod4PwQHs/v-deo.html
forgive the ignorance but it makes me wonder if patton's forces ever encountered winters and easy company of the 101st and helped em out,if they did they should cover it like they did band of brothers and do a sequel series.
As a matter of fact, Patton's forces were the ones that broke through the encirclement around Bastogne and relieved the 101st.
Thats why the meetimg before the event. They couldnt afford to loose more of the line troops like that. Plus the ss panzer division under sep dietrich was one of the g1ermans more rutherless and murderous divisions there
The meeting is telling. Only Patton was certainhe and his men could and would do it. Je knew it jad to be done and that it was the turning point that would win or loose the war. None of the others had the sense of purpose or desire to do what had to be done.
History the tells the story with God on his side and that of his divisions the sid thw impossible and wemt into battle and beat the german s hands down. Pattons sense of history and his place in it won him the day and the battle. In two days he fought and won two major battles this in my book makes the greatest II world war general as no others did that
The 101st said they were never
Rescued by patten' 3rd Army
At Boston
Yesss, bastogne chapter!
They were "rescued" by patton's troops
@@kevinklingner3098 The SS Panzer Divisions were not facing Patton, they were on the north shoulder facing 99th Infantry, 2nd Infantry, 82nd Airborne, and 7th Armored Divisions. Patton was facing the German 7th Army with minimal armored units.
