George Patton, America 's greatest general!

- Fine young Americans, as a European, I am concerned about the role your great nation is playing in the world today. But I have an enormous respect for the American Army in World War II, for the GI 's that fought and died to liberate Europe. I think I have read every book that deals with the American Army during Word War II.
I saw the movie 'The last days of Patton', about the famous American General George S. Patton (1885-1945) in World War II. It 's about the last months of his life before he was killed in a car accident in december 1945.
This is a crucial scene, in which Patton is relieved of his command by his boss (and former friend) Eisenhower. I think the two characters are very well casted. They resemble very well the pictures of the real Eisenhower and Patton I know.
Also the difference in personality between the two great men: Eisenhower, the diplomat and politician (he later became President of the United States), and Patton, the pompous, brutal and arrogant mouth.
There are some very nice statements in it. Although a brilliant strategist, Patton was notorious for his arrogant big mouth, which put him always in serious troubles with Dwight 'Ike' Eisenhower, Supreme Alied Commander. The word he most often used was 'suns-of-bitches'.
His worst offence was the slapping in the face of two wounded American soldiers who suffered from shell-shock. He accused them of being cowards. This incident, in Sicily 1943, provoked furious reactions of both the American press and his military superiors Eisenhower and Bradley.
The American press compared Patton with Hitler, and they portayed him in a cartoon with a swastica underneath of his boot, while kicking the two soldiers in the butt.
As a result, Patton was relieved from his command, only to play a military role again after the landings in Normandy in juli-august 1944. Then he broke through the German defensive lines with the Sherman-tanks of his 3rd Army, dashing to liberate Paris. He is also best known for the relieving of the encircled American forces in Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes (december 1944).
Anyway, the movie I saw yesterday is not about his military achievements, but about the very complex human character that Patton was. He was brilliant, arrogant and completely undiplomatic, but he also wrote beautiful love poems for his eternally beloved wife Bea.
He had a fenomenal knowledge about human history. He foresaw the clashing between the Americans and the Soviet Russians. In a quote of which I don 't remember the exact words he says:
"The war with Germany is over, they say. They think we killed the last dictator in history. They 're wrong. Every generation gives birth to a new dictator."
We now all know these were prophetic words. Think of Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Saddam Hoessein, Bush (?).
While discussing the anti-fraternising policy of Eisenhower that forbade American soldiers to flirt with German girls and women, he said:
"You can 't control sex. All that moralistic garbage! When morals go down, morale goes up."
In this movie there are also beautiful statements and words of other characters:
Patton and General Harper, his Chief-of-Staff, are driving in a car. They notice that Willy, Patton 's beloved dog, is scratching itself. Then Harper says:
"They say a resonable number of fleas is good for a dog. Keeps him from brooding...over being a dog."
I interpret this as follows: people need all these little problems and frustrations to complain about. These they need, in order not to think about the human existential situation, such as the eternal human lack, the passing away of things and people, and the inevitable death...
Patton knew.... he knew how things would end up 50 years later.
75
how did things end up?
@@willmerwin2226 Just enter the real world and take a look.
@will merwin 45 years of cold and hot wars with communist nations, and 75 years of communist infiltration as evidenced by the present rioting.
Thats why ike killed him
even if iam not american.
i'll follow patton into battle any day.
I think we all would. American, and non-American alike.
You can't your a Russian bot. 🤣🥱
@@ownSystem If Eisenhower allowed Patton to continue, the Soviet Union (AKA: Russia) would be a footnote in History.
He is not the greatest general ever and I’m saying that as a Marine, his own men and officers couldn’t stand him and questioned his tactics, his peer generals were annoyed by him and said he acted like a child, the only reason he was considered likable among the civilians in America is because he was in front of reporters and the news papers the most, only civilians think he’s the greatest general ever, everyone in military including the supreme commander of the allied forces seen him as a nuisance
@@AJxxxxxxxx agreed, but his spirit helped the moral of others away from him. He was 100% correct on the Soviets.
George Patton was just a rare breed of generals. Not only a military genius that was adept in new combined arms tactics/strategies at the time, but possessed the ability to motivate/inspire the troops and organizational skills in forward observations/troop movements/supplies, but he stayed true to his near black and white truthfulness in matters (something that politicians and their policies on the other grey spectrum of thing just simply cannot handle or tolerate in the long run.) and honor as a soldier and a leader on the battlefield as well as off the battlefield (as seen in his treatment of POWs even if it goes against direct orders).

Please show the scene after a battle, when Patton made the comment that man overcame nature, so man go overcome whatever man built.
@@genemichna9558 "Sir, what of the fortifications at Metz and Verdun?"
"Emplaced fortifications are monuments of the stupidity of man. If oceans and mountain ranges can be overcome anything built by man can be overcome."
My dad was in patton's third army presidential unit citation, bronze star and distinguished service cross
Patton would make a terrible politician, but a fantastic Soldier.
Because, he spoke this mind, and wasn't afraid of the political back lash.
A very rare bread of General.
In other words, he was no Montgomery, or Eisenhower. He did his job, and he did it well. To bad, that the Politician's didn't have his hindsight.
Patton was America's Greatest General.
Eisenhower is one of America's greatest President.
It's a shame what happened to General Patton, and it's a shame that Eisenhower didn't listen to General Patton.
Rest in Peace General!
What’s so funny is how blunt he is 😂 everything he says is so on point, I lost it when he talked about Eisenhower wanting the presidency
One of the very few allied generals that did earn a good reputation even among his enemys.
One of the best military leaders in history. It's ironic but during the war his enemies had far more respect for him then his own superiors. Even Stalin himself recognized and admired his abilities. His greatest enemy by far was political correctness. He was one of the few willing to point out the big pink elephant sitting in the room and call it out for what it was.
Yeah thats sad but true. Hitler Rommel Goebbels are all on record as basically saying they respected and admired Patton. He also always followed the Geneva conventions with captured German prisoners and treated them humanely unlike Eisenhower who murdered in cold blood several hundred thousand Germans as demonstrated in the book “other losses”. They were only several hundred feet from the Rhine river but Eisenhower allowed no water to be given to them and they dehydrated and starved to death. This is what the leftist and Zionist media wanted and so when Patton treated his prisoners humanely the media attached him and Patton wrote in a letter to his wife that the attacks on him in the media were “Semitic in origin” lol
The Germans barely knew who Patton was you watch too many movies
D so who cares
Mike Mike you don’t know what you’re talking about
@@christopherhand4836 No shit. The Germans knew exactly who Patton was.
That rendition of Auld Lang Syne always brings a tear to my eyes. The band played it so beautifully, slower, and with a New Orleans funeral jazz touch.
I challenge anyone not to be moved, watching Patton drive off for the final time, sent home for nothing more than speaking the truth, his faithful dog by his side, and this music echoing over the air.
It was very fitting for this scene.
Just my opinion.
In many respects "The Last Days of Patton" was a far more historically accurate and in depth view of the man than the original movie.
I love this film,,,George C Scott has always been my favorite actor. Gen Patton was the best general in all wars....RIP to bouth of them.
Patton did get screwed over. He respected the concept of "the soldier," and cared more about how he performed his duty rather than the color of his uniform. I like how Patton predicted the fact that the US and the Soviets would not be allies after the war, and I love it how he said we should have destroyed Berlin and just kept going. Ike had political aspirations, and doing the politically-correct thing instead of the right thing was on the agenda. I wish Patton had stayed at my school
VMI 2011
Good job
The scenes are from "The Last Days of Patton", a made for TV feature. They're not from the 1970 movie "Patton", although they got George C. Scott to revive his famous role. It dealt more with the "postwar Patton", and included flashbacks of his early life as well as events leading up to his death.
Oh so that’s why this scene wasn’t in the movie I bought the other day called “Patton” when I was expecting to see it! Thanks for that, I was so confused at the time and rewound the whole thing to check I hadn’t missed it or something lol
Patton was right,the commies were the real enemy,we spent the next 50 years fighting communism and still do.
Tom Selleck did a great job as Ike than Richard Dysart in Ike countdown to D Day
Patton was insubordinate. However, from a pragmatic point of view he was right to use the local officials, because they knew how to get things done.
Disbanding the Iraqi army was a huge mistake in our own time.
Invading Iraq was the real mistake.
Mark Harrison amen. A huge mistake.
@@markharrison2544
Why is that?
@@robertkresko6338
Let's hear your opinion as well......
we were so lucky to have him
I love Patton even more now. I have never seen this. Very well done.
This is from The Last Days of Patton. It's free here on UA-cam, I haven't finished it yet but I think it's great so far.
Beatrice Patton was right to never visit the White House, when asked by Eisenhower. Eisenhower asked her many times to visit, and she turned him down each and every time. God bless that woman!!
kyokogodai exactly. This movie made me want to visit Patton's grave. I'm going there next year.
Later on Eisenhower betrayed General marshal when McCarthy and other Republicans slandered him as a Communist after the war.
The Eisenhower regime was extremely corrupt, so corrupt that they helped United Fruit become the government of the country simply because the CEO donated to Eisenhower's campaign.
@@mannixflinn6227, Did U get to see Patton's Grave?
Truman thought poorly of ike as well
The most obvious of Patton's character is this: when his superiors as well as his peers argued with him, he was always proven RIGHT. However, he did it in such a way that they were furious at him, starting with Ike. Not everyone disliked him, he was just someone everyone loved to hate. That about sums him up.
Eisenhower should have listened to patton.
No he shouldn't have. Patton was a balloon. Eisenhower wanted peace and understood people. Patton was just a bully who loved war.
@Tassel How do you figure that? To me he was a hero.
@Black Metal Bitch You poorly educated fool. America has very low amount of socialism. Bernie is far from a Commie. Finnish government's most capitalist politicians are more socialistic than Bernie and Finland has been ranking well on the happiness levels.
@Tassel 5% Swedes but ok.
@Tassel Also I dislike 40% of the people here, for being fasist mainly.
How right PATTON was,
he still my number 1 in mine personal top 5 best generals in WW2
i never stir up hornet nest, i just read books about the generals and i found patton as mine oppion better than other generals. because he used stuff what other officers never shall do or believe impossible to do like he goes to bastogne. in that time i found really impossible to make possible for him.
and in mine country if montgomery to liberate it. but he make more mistakes where he getting credits come on operation market garden is faillure operation every one say it because lack of information they getting and only used that for operation to go.
and if russian people found offensive i don't mention of there generals well because where i lived there was no russian armies to liberated mine country.
so i decide to nothing ill talking or postive about there generals. maybe they did brilliant tactics there but i never studied that in mine school because russians did not much giving information to our schools about there WW2 generals and there army tactics
i hope i have enough answering your comment?
true but i know little what russian did on there fighting so i am not gonna judge them it is not fair... i just only like patton about there big mouth and his way of fighting style...
in fact i know only soviets tanks more than the generals...but it is mine only oppion what i found of mine top 5 generals. and patton is wel first but mine second is rommel not because he is nazi more because it stratigue stuff.. (sorry for mine spelling)
100% right on the russians..........
Patton was right about the Soviets. McArthur was right about China.
Patton : The greatest general with the most foresight in WW2 admired and respected more by his enemies than his own peers.IKE was 100% wrong .
"You *can't* disagree with me! It's not a matter of- of- opinion. It's a matter of policy." General Eisenhower got that one right. But the irony to Patton's speaking out against that overboard emphasis on denazification and the USSR turned out to be rather accurate. The Russians were not our allies anymore, and many shots had yet to be fired. We are still waiting for Ike's words- "No one has to fire any more shots, George!" to come true, over fifty years later.
We fought the wrong enemy.- Patton.
Americans were done with war.
Right enemy but only half way.
I think Patton transferred to West Point in the hopes of setting them straight. Before he ever got around to showing the Germans how to fight a war, Patton was showing West Point how to run a military college.
He and MacArthur were the best generals the U.S. ever had, and people like Eisenhower were always jealous of them.
They sure don't make General's like they used to. SMH
The politically correct Libs would make such a fuss it would be impossible to allow them to do their job. Can you imagine the public outcry if a general slapped a young troop with PTSD. I don't even want to think about it.
What about Stormen Norman? Kick the Shit out of the Iraqi Army in 100 hours when the ground war started!!
@@randywestfall1679, two things about that, first in this apology speech to the whole 3rd Army, the general want to make that solider reclaim his dignity as a man and as a fighting soldier, second, we were at war, Patton could have put that soldier to death if he chose to, instead, he slapped him! One more thing, Patton slapped a second soldier but nothing came from that incident, to my knowledge!
@@bosnmatecaddie ya he was a great General i agree but he ran the show from his headquarters. Old blood and guts was right there on the front lines. That's special. Napoleon used to do that as well.
@@bosnmatecaddie with Schwartzkopf, he was a product of the Cold War and the hard-learned lessons from Vietnam. He, like Patton, was a proven battlefield commander, and like Patton, he was anticipating Saddam Hussein to be the thorn in the Middle East's side, and not the Soviet Union as he saw the cracks in the Eastern Bloc grow wider and wider with relations between the US (under Reagan) and the USSR (under Gorbachev) starting to warm up, plus the events of Chernobyl, as well as the USSR "writing off" Afghanistan. While Schwartzkopf secretly wanted to take out Baghdad, and later admitted it after it was done in 2003, he did what he was told, and just liberate Kuwait, keeping Saddam in power so that he could be a counter-threat to both Iran, as well as the Shiites in Iraq's borders, and al-Queda (where ISIS/ISIL spawned from) elsewhere.
Eisenhower listened too much to Montgomery and the battle of Arnheim was a disaster
Yes and many who were disturbed at Arnhem we’re taking as prisoner to of all places Dresden because Germans thought it was safest place to house them and they were later murdered by their own bombers that destroyed Dresden. A British survivor Victor gregg tells the story here on UA-cam if you search his name.. Nearly all his fellow prisoners and German guards were burned alive.
Eisenhower and Montgomery had a blazing row on the eve of Arnhem, Eisenhower wanted to sack him. Market Garden secured the approaches to the Schedule estuary which was a vital Allied war aim. It was Monty's desire for a narrow front over the Rhine at Arnhem that was arguable a mistake. Eisenhower gave Monty the rope and he hung himself on it.
Patton's performance at Metz was a much greater disaster as per official US military history but that does nit go down well with the Hollywood historians
George C Scott sounds way more badass than the real Patton did
Bet if the real Patton were right in front of you (alive and well), after a few minutes of "conversation" you might think differently.....as many others had.
The real Patton had a high pitched voice but still sported cast iron balls
Scott was great. Always will love his patton which was more patton then patton.
George Smith Patton Jr. is the Best of the Best.
I still think Mattel shouldve created an action figure in his honor..Im sure i woulda got one for Christmas when i was 7..
He was fencing. Patton was an Olympic caliber swordsman.
The greatest blove of all time
Sadly, Ike and Patton did indeed have a falling out at the end of the war. They had been good friends up until then, but the friendship was broken by the time the war ended. The remark that Ike makes at about 4:35, to the effect that if Patton wanted to spend the night he was welcome, but Ike imagined he'd want to get home as soon as possible was a facade of politeness. Patton correctly translated it in his head as "time for you to leave now George."
It was great to see Scott play Patton again. His performance here is great as always, though of course it doesn't top his Oscar-winning performance in the 1970 movie. And of course, this TV movie doesn't come anywhere near the greatness of the film, but it's still a good film. Interestingly, this time around, Scott was much closer to Patton's actual age. He'd been in his '40s when he played the 60-ish general in 1970, and they had had to dye Scott's hair white and shave the front portion of his head to match Patton's receding hairline. Unfortunately Scott had gained a bit of weight by the time this TV movie was made, and was noticeably thicker in the mid-section than he had been in 1970, or than the real Patton had been in 1945.
@Jizzraeli- The third war? I don't know what you mean by that.
Patton isn't being a "bitch". He's showing Eisenhower, his superior officer, the respect that Eisenhower's rank and status calls for. Patton is mostly known for being a hard-driving SOB, but he was quite respectful when speaking to those who outranked him. If he'd been a "hardass" towards his bosses his Army career would have ended much sooner than it did,
Jurassic0Al, Ike was the only one who DID outrank him
It's too bad they fired me. Communism was just as big a threat back then as it is now.
@Central Intelligence Agency Wow, it is surprising to see the CIA failing at your jobs... Have you idiots forgot about China and their spying on us?
@@dylanlloyd7301 Yep. Possibly, a troll, or some assh*le who named his account as the CIA
@@someguy9293 Nono, it's the real CIA.
We need more people like him, our country has become soft and weak. Its show how much political correctness has destroyed this country.
Patton and Ike were great men, but in different ways. It is possible for two people to have completely valid views at the same time that are in total opposition. Reading about the two men is a really fascinating exercise in mental gymnastics.
Patton was a great man while ike wasn't.
Patton bad points were outside good points were inside. Ike was the opposite.
The General George Patton Jr. is the Best of the Best. The german soldier says Unser Patton Unser Freund
Patton and Eisenhower are tied as our greatest Generals. Smiles you don't mess with Eisenhower.
Most of the German troops on the western front were reservist. The SS and Wehrmacht were mostly on the Russian front. Hitler was stupid to open up a second front when he knew the allies would be invading.
As much of a pain as Patton was- he never could control that mouth of his- he turned out to be right about the Russians. We'd have saved everybody a lot of trouble if Patton and MacArthur had been allowed to go all-out against the Reds in Europe and the Pacific respectively. And sadly, everybody *did* have to fire a LOT more shots. If only Ike had been right...or if only folks had listened to Patton earlier. What's especially sad about this is that Patton and Ike were once good friends.
Politics rules everything
Believe me it’s true.
Speak your mind at work see if politics don't silence you.
General William J.(Wild Bill) Donovan, head of the OSS,personaly went to the balkans and used American prestiege(which there was a lot of back than) and agitated some of the leaders of the balkan states into defying hitler and hitler invaded the balkans which thru off operation Barbarossa by six weeks. The germans did'nt invade the soviets until july which was way too late to get to moscow by winter. Donovan won the medal of honor inWWI. And was a hero of the secret war in WWII.
WE DEFEATED THE WRONG ENEMY
Everybody says that in these comment threads about Patton. No, we really didn't. The Nazis _were_ worse than the Soviets. Considerably worse. Yes, yes, I know that Stalin Killed more millions than Hitler, and Mao lots more than that. That's merely because Hitler and his regime were crushed after a relatively short few years, and Stalin and Mao lived to old age, and died in their beds after decades in power. The communists never set up anything like the Nazi extermination camps and all the transportation and administration infrastructure around the Final Solution, which industrialized mass murder in a way never seen before or since.
And there was simply no way to bring a war-weary United States and a war-weary, exhausted, and near bankrupt Britain into a war with the Soviets in 1945. It was never going to happen. In the end we beat the Soviets anyway, and without the millions more deaths that would have resulted from an extension of the war in 1945 to try and drive the Russians out of eastern Europe.
@@Hibernicus1968 Wow, somebody with sense...
This scene was hilarious. It was his "mouth", if they could have just sewn it shut. LOL! I love this movie. Only got to see it once...still looking for it on DVD everywhere I go.
Smiles you don't mess with Eisenhower.
Washington? He was an important General, a master of the careful retreat and a good man in a suprise attack, but his greatest gift was inspiring loyalty. He was hardly our best General. One of the best Presidents, but not Generals. Grant, Lee, Jackson (both Andrew and Stonwall), Sherman, Sheridan and Patton all made better military commanders when attack was called for.
The visual picture résolution i-s blurry.. But most of this clip, had more 'suspenseful' dialogue...than visual action [ my 3rd repeat watch].
Filmed just half a mile from my front door at the time. Harlaxton Manor.
Patton was right! We fought the wrong enemy!
Americans were tired of war.
the movie is excellent.
thanks you.
That would never have worked with Douglas MacArthur there, they would have clashed. It would have been a battle of egos.
Sure it would of, just have them land on different sides of the island and give them the same objective and sit back and watch them beat the ever loving dog crap out of the enemy to get there first
Ike should have sent Patton home. That way he would have been ready for hot conflicts during the Cold war.
They had him killed, we were already beaten by the commies before ww2 even started
My uncle fought under Patton. He said that they would have marched into hell soaked in gasoline if he ordered them to. His men respected him that much.
My father was an officer under General Patten!!!!!
There's a lot I disagree with Patton on but he did a great job as administrator of Bavaria.
Although Patton slapped a few
He never had eddie Slovak executed
Peace and Blessings. 3 words.
Patton excepted the fact that he was inviting an A$$ Chewing by his superiors every time he made a controversial statement. Guess he followed the old adage" it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission". Continue to rest in peace, U Beautiful SOB!!! A. M. F!!!
I wonder where the USA would be IF we had more military men like Patton. I'll bet we would have more respect in the world unlike now
Mijn favoriete generaal die voor zijn manschappen stond.
The best american commander of all time 👍
And in 2014, the war isnt over...
It was never a secret that Ike, like so many others, was jealous of Patton’s ability to see the big picture and act accordingly. Ike got his way and today we have communists in our own government at every level. So who was the fool in this scenario? My Dad served under Patton as a medic so he was infinitely familiar with Blood and Guts but, he said he was the greatest General ever and was proud to have served with Patton.
To the fine young European poster of this video: I am an old American and I like you worry about the role America is playing in the world these days. Being American does not mean we are all that and a bag a chips and others in the world have rights too. I hope we can get more in line with that idea. Carry on fine young European. :)
We fought the wrong enemy - General Patton
He was no George Armstrong Custer, that's for sure.
George Patton, America 's greatest general?
Sure you want to go with that?
Dudes before me, relax and just watch the video. The youtube community knows that you two know a lot about WW2, no need to argue. And also, I'd like to say that Patton's dog is really cool.
Who wrote these subtitles? I'll never watch a foreign film again without thinking how much is lost in translation if translators give so little to their job as demonstrated here.
It's very hard to fit verbatum translations into the timeslots and space of subtitles. Reading is much slower than speaking/listening, and you don't want half the screen to be text, or the letters to be so small people have to squint their eyes for the whole movie, and can barely watch the picture because they're busy reading the script. Often, accurately translating phrases from different languages also requires convoluted paraphrasing. Subtitles are always condensed to the core. It's a practical necessity, not the translators' fault.
@@LOLERXP Not true! A subtitler's job is very demanding and goes far beyond creating the most economical translation reasonable. It is true that they are constrained to two lines of text and the number of frames of the scene/speed of dialogue, in other words that it is not equal to the constrains of literary translation; however, those limitations do not excuse shoddy work and all I am doing is calling it out! It is even less excusable here because the languages are so closely related.
Translations are always being redone for a variety of reasons, but sometimes it is simply because the previous work was not good enough. In my opinion, this translation falls short. It concerns me that some people think cinema should not be treated with as great a care as literature. If the demands are high then rise to meet them. And if failure occurs, expect criticism. C'est la vie.
The irony in this scene. Ike yells at Patton for his treatment of SS POWs then when President allows West Germany to rearm.
Not sure what your point is.
Patton was right in 1945.
However, when Ike relieved Patton of 3rd Army, he was in a situation where he couldn't support Patton over the objections of his superiors (General Marshall, Secretary of War Stimson, President Truman). Ike was "next-in-line" for the Chief of Staff position and if he wanted the job, he had to "toe the line".
When Eisenhower became President in 1953, he was in THE position where he could help rearm the West Germans against the USSR.
Ike was a part of the swamp even then
Interstate highway system yes terrible......idiot....(you)
If Patton and Doolittle had teamed up in Normandy it would have been “Operation I’m Going To Rip Your Head Off And Sh&t Down Your Throat.”
The mishandling of George S. Parton is a crime of the highest order.
Eisenhower was pretty hopeless.
As much use as a chocolate teapot.
But he was very "brave" in killing hundreds of thousands of German POWs, most of whom were only teenage boys forced by the Nazis before to take up arms and fight the war. Eisenhover banned Red Cross and their tons of food from POW's camps. Prisoners perished through famine and diseases in the meadows of the Rhine. They could not get out from their prisoners' camps, because the camps were surrounded by barbed wire. But they weren't given any wood or other material to make shelters or tents for themselves. They died in the mud, and were bulldozed into the mud, although some of them were still alive. Eisenhower was an evil coward.

This is certainly shown the political naivety of Ike, Who later admitted he should’ve listened more to Winston Churchill and shook hands with the Russians as far east as possible.

Amen to Eisenhower.
They didn't mind using Nazis in the space program.
Does anybody know what movie this was from. all I can find is clips from movie "Patton" made in 1970.
The war just started. Whether or not reincarnation is real, Patton's belief in it gave him an intuitive foresight. His belief in God gave him discernment. His frustrations were aggravated by people who couldn't or wouldn't embrace his certainty and clear evidence he presented before and after the war.

Patton rules. Ike was a weenie!
The minute they pinned that fifth star onto Ike he virtually had to put soldiering to the side and become the politician that he later became. Patton, on the other hand, was a true (albeit flamboyant) battlefield commander, always anticipating his enemy's next moves. Even Erwin Rommel, who held the same rank as Ike and Montgomery, admired the lower-ranking Patton for his skills on the battlefield.
How difeent may have been the outcome of Korea, if Patton would have live...think about it. He may have pushed the korean al the way back to the north and maybe, maybe forseing the chinese invation.
Yes Esinhower was a diplomat but he was far from been a general Without Patton he was nathing
+jj gutierrez Patton would've agreed with MacArthur and we would've had two generals removed for wanting to carpet bomb china with nukes.
im still trying to figure out what exactly patton did beside talk tough and look pretty in his uniform...he was only good at executing the plans of superior strategists, not his own.
If patron had done that in Korea Truman would have had a hissy fit and fired him too.but patton wouldn't have went to Korea. Mcarthur didn't like competition
First of all, Gen. MacArthur didn't want Patton in Asia, During the Korean" Police action", MacArthur wanted to invade China and play politics, Pres. Truman wouldn't put up with that and fired him. A 5 star out of a job. History has it's twists and turns you know.
Is this a deleted scene? I don't remember it in the movie
I cant remember- did Patron die from a carwreck?
The greatest General ever !!!!
Washington was America’s greatest general. No commander did more with less and had a greater strategic vision.
Sad end to have been injured in a auto accident
Maybe he should have had his own
Armoured tank and driven it himself
That was no accident, everyone knows that
No words🙌🏅🛡🙏😎😎✌⌛
