This is part of the scene where General Patton played by George C .Scott attacks Rommels Afrika Corps. Released in 1970. Music done by Jerry Goldsmith.
Fun fact: That guy "run over" by the tank at 2:02 was an accident during filming. He was trying to load his rifle and the driver did not see him, but he emerged unscathed from the accident
Neil Wilkes I knew it. But, I heard he lost part of his right arm. You can barely see how his right arm looks to have been ran over as he is being run over.
My uncle commanded a Sherman tank during WWII. He had serious psychological problems after the war and he always avoided watching war movies. He once told me they were all phony and unrealistic and after seeing and living through the real thing why would he ever watch one. However, "Patton" was the lone exception. I guess there was something different about this particular war movie that he could bring himself to watch it.
As the son of a WW2 Veteran I appreciate the line "What a waste of fine infantry" There was massive loss of fine solders on both sides.Russia lost millions.
The Sovs did it to themselves, really. Officer purges, substandard training, commisars, deliberate hamstringing of defensive and offensive movements... The absolute waste along the Eastern front, in both sides, was beyond normal comprehension. It was nothing less than supercriminal.
In ww1 europe was a blood bath and slaughter house for modern weapons pointless and futile frontal attacks that cost the lives of millions of soldiers of britain german Italian french Belgium's
You know it was always cool about Patton. He respected the enemy. He respected Rommel and the sheer might of the German army. If you don’t respect your enemy. You’ll always be overconfident and prone to mistakes.
@@zwojack7285 Politics in WWII almost took Patton down, our very best General. Afterward, the Korean War was won but "lost" by politicians, who created North Korea. Same in Vietnam, the war could have been won in months, but politics ruled over military, and every war since. Wars to the U.S. and European countries are now run by politicians, but our enemies (look at what Moron Biden has caused to happen in Afghanistan today) are not that foolish.
Patton is to have said that after witnessing entire groups of German soldiers being wiped out by artillery airburst shells...the first use of those type shells by the Army in WWII.
"we have one real tiger tank and it's expensive to keep running." "well that wont make for a dramatric battle." "we do have access to like 30 m48 pattons." " "DONE!"
Would you seriously want to hand over the sole driving tiger in the world over to some filmmakers who will be detonating explosives close to it? Hell no. In Fury they had to beg to use it, and even then they took all kinds of safety precautions with it. This movie was made in 1969, and they didn't have the advanced maintenance techniques like we do now. So if that tank got damaged in any way, there would be no more operable tigers.
IGNORANCE IS A BLISS, THERE WAS NO "TIGER" TANKS IN AFRICA, AS F-5s ARE NOT MIGs ON TOP GUN...HOW A NATION THAT SAYS THAT LOVE THEIR MILITARY IS SO IGNORANT OF THESE FACTS ??? AMAZING !!!
This movie production used M47/M48 tanks painted as German tanks. So some say we have "Patton killing Pattons" it is in reference to the M47/48 tanks that are virtually identical except for engine, transmission or gun upgrades.
As a Brit, I can say that I have met men who served under Patton, and they speak of him as if they all knew him personally, and they all loved him. To a man. Quite an epitaph.
Terrific stunt at 1:58 ... multiple takes on that one as you can see the tank treds in the ground. Running over a stuntman (really a Spanish solider working for the film crew) by a tank, and only suffering a torn jacket.
I disagree. A modern remake would have emphasis on the violence, with bigger explosions, loud booming sound effects, and dramatic music drowning it out. The CGI tanks and soldiers will look fake. Instead of "Patton", it will look like "Star Wars" or "Lord of the Rings". 🤮 The script won't be about telling a nuanced and compelling story. The characters won't be all that important-they are just extras compared to the special effects. Would the movie make millions? Probably, but that doesn't mean it a good movie.
@@withamarshview1436 I think you nailed it. Hollywood has forgotten old-school techniques in favour of flashy gimmicks that are over-used to make a movie 'spectacular'. CGI has it's place, but too often the story becomes a slave to the special effects.
Ironic, really. El Guettar was a spoiling action undertaken by von Arnim, over two weeks after Rommel had departed Tunisia. The Panzer Division used, 10th Panzer, only arrived in Tunisia in December, 1942, and, apart from a 4 day period, was never commanded by Rommel, but was part of von Arnim's 5th Panzer Army. Rommel no more 'planned' this action than John Paul Jones did the Battle of Midway, despite what the ludicrous movie might claim.
That scene was one of the inaccuracies. The Battle of El Guettar was in 1942. The artillery proximity fuse or "VT fuse" was not released for use by the Army in Europe until late 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge. They were already in use by the U.S. Navy for anti-aircraft use. At first the fuses were only used in situations where they could not be captured by the Germans. They were used in land-based artillery in the South Pacific in 1944
My father served under Patton in Sicily and Italy,maybe in the N.African campaign.Consensus among the soldiers was that Patton was a first class jerk. The soldiers disliked him intensely. My father had met Patton prewar at a Polo match in Hamilton,Mass. He was a jerk then and he never changed.
Correct tanks aside, it's a strange scene for Hollywood . . . very panoramic, no closeup individual fights or individuals to be involved with except the aide who is killed . . . and no music. I think it is supposed to represent Patton's sense of the battle--like an epic chess game in which he is the master, with little sense of the actual people and their tragedies.
Dude! You cut the best part of it OUT! PATTON " ROMMEL! YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD I READ YOUR BOOK!" You need to add this it's coming up next in the FILM!
Something along the lines of ' Rommel went home two weeks ago, von Arnim is in command of the German forces, and 10 Panzer only had around 50 tanks anyway, but I'm going to tell Ladislas Farago something totally different, and one day an actor called George C. Scott is going to act out my fantasy' I think.
Because people actually got run over by tanks silly. That why the Infantryman fears tanks, because they can not only kill you with HE rounds, or machine guns, but they can grind you up into a lumpy paste.
This is exactly what happened in WW2. The Germans had so many patton tanks that we had to destroy them in order to capture majority of their patton tanks.

Now keep in mind, if Patton was facing three, four or five more seasoned, hardened German divisions fresh from the Eastern Front, could he have prevailed?? An outstanding general, an amazing leader of men, & very take charge inspirational, Patton was one of the finest generals in American History. Yet with what he had to work with at that moment another German Army of 5 highly trained & experienced divisions all with Rommel leading them could have proven too formidable, & too much to defeat. Food for thought there!
One of General Patton’s officers changed this scene,..........for the movie,...........to Exactly how the Germans pushed up this pass. Interesting isn’t it? No flankers,.....No recon of any kind. They expected resistance further into the pass.
Nice movie scene, too bad it never happened. Patton never faced Rommel in North Africa. He was sent back to England to prepare for the invasion of Sicily. Bradley did not of the generalship in Africa. The early American tanks were left overs from WW1 with 37 MM guns. The Germans kicked ass in North Africa until US supply overwhelmed them

That's true, but infantry always has to walk the ground in order to be taken or it's not cleared.

May have been a jerk but he was a very good General and military tactician.
