I was here in 1971. It was my 3rd year in Germany. At that time I was Commander of HHD 15th MP Brigade in K-town. I call Germany my 2nd home. First daughter - a dual citizen of both nations, Germany & USA. Thanks Ed
My father worked for Patton with 332nd Engineers built bridges for his tanks...my dad US Army sargeant (Normandy/Ardennes/Rhineland) he got Bronze Star...came home
when his wife Beatrice died in 1953 she was not eligible to be buried with him so she was cremated and her children secretly scattered the ashes on top of the Generals grave.

THEY couldn't risk him telling in America all the things that America should know. It's quite a story how THEY did him in. He had his ways, I know, but he was a great patriot.
Yes, Patton was initially buried with his men, but the increased traffic around his plot caused much damage to surrounding plots. He was eventually moved by the Graves Registration Service to the current location at the front of the grave plots (Plot P, Row 1, Grave 1). There are conflicting reports of this action, but I tend to believe this account. S

The Army footage of Ike (Gen. Eisenhower) visiting Patton's grave had Patton buried among the rows of crosses of his men. Was Patton subsequently moved and set apart?
Yes. There were too many people trampling the ground just to see General Pattons grave. So the Army set his grave aside so that people could still see it & pay their respects to him.. but without damaging the other grave sites (or walking on the other grave sites)
It doesn't matter, he's an American folk hero like George Washington, Daniel Boone, Davey Crockett, R.E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, U.S. Grant, Wyatt Earp, Casey Jones, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, I could go on and on. He'll never be forgotten. And anyone who studies WW2, and it'll be studied for centuries to come, will know who George Patton was!
My dad’s general, and what my dad said was that the driver for General Patton. On the day of the funeral, the driver had a smile on his face. Soldiers walked over to the driver & they took him away, and my dad said he wasn’t seen again.
that may be the ONLY thing Trump has in common with him....you can go back generations in the Trump family tree and you will not find a single veteran....a family of COWARDS.
My dad served from 1943 to 1946, and my dad would say that’s my general. He lived till the age of 93, 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏼🙏🏼thanks.
May God bless your father 🤝🇺🇸
@@ericnijkamp7926 thank you so very much 🙏🏼, I miss him. It was really tough. Dealing with my dad’s final days. Thanks

Wow..5000 of our brave young men never made it home but each one made it too heaven
He was a great man. Imagine putting your own troops first over your own family!! He was really proud of them!!
@King Royal proof?
When I was stationed in Germany in the 1980’s.I had the opportunity of visiting his Grave site.
Thank you for your service
Patton is watching his men in everlasting pride.

My hero
Thank God he was the right man for the right position at the right time.
Ike visited his grave in 1946 and he was with the other soldiers, not by himself.

What is it America should know?
That they defeated the wrong enemy pattons words not mine
Great man, great General...

It kinda makes sense to inter him where he is, anyway, seeing as how he was the "supreme leader" of a lot of those men buried in that cemetery.
I doubt he would have been happy about being moved to a place apart from his men and would likely have had some choice words to say about it.
@@LarcR ... but then again, he wouldn't stand for all his men getting trod on to come see him.
S
Don't shoot! I think Patton should be removed to Arlington.

As a kid I was there in 1961 and the cemetery looked exactly the same then as it does now.
That's before though right. It's colorized now.
@@sleazyfellow Yeah .. well, no ... It was in color then too, but the colors weren't as vivid.
Patton was a badass
@Michael Taylor - From what I have read, he was the one Ally General that the Germans really respected and some feared!
George himself said to his wife that he wanted to be buried here next to his men. It wasn't her decision, it was George's.

Unfortunately this is one of the few things to do in Luxembourg. A really sleepy country.

The reason why you can stand there and breathe the air is because of all those who are in the ground.

I didn't know that...
Why isnt he in Arlington
These men gave the ultimate sacrifice,so snowflakes could have a voice in the modern world !! How sad !
So Everyone Could have a Voice
Republican Snowflakes? The kind that supported 45 and his best buddy PUTIN????? 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦
He,,Himself wanted burial there..
Truman should have listened to him in 1945. Just saying......

I had *no* idea Patton is buried overseas. That said, it does kinda make sense. ❤

No where in Washington DC is there a monument or even a mention of him anywhere. 🤔 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Still think he was murdered!

Those Americans. They never leave.
Well, we saved Europe twice in one century and never asked for anything in return except for enough ground to bury our dead.
Donald Trump's real father he looks just like him
that may be the ONLY thing Trump has in common with him....you can go back generations in the Trump family tree and you will not find a single veteran....a family of COWARDS.
👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼get 👓. Good thing my father isn’t around any longer. He’d be 🤬🤬
so many men died because of pattons arrogants, he cursed his men and treated them like shit, nothing left of ole blood and guts but dust and bones
George Patton was a first class nut case.
But Patton was right about Russia! He NEVER trusted the Russian Government! Unlike 45!🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🌻🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
I'm sure glad that he was our nutcase and not a Nazi one!
Did cnn tell
You that?
Boring
That’s because your not 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
