Patton was no angel Sarge and it doesn't surprise me if he made some anti-Semetic comments. There was a lot of that going on in the US Army because there were a lot of officersfrom the Hookworm Belt (the South) and we know how they thought back then, much different from the South of today. Still deception or not, we wasted two months screwingaround in Normandy and in my opinion Patton would have sliced through the German lines like butter on bread.The Germans identified American Armies by their number, ex, 1st, 5th, 7th and 9th. They did not identify Patton's Army as the 3rd. They called it Army Group Patton. He was our best combat general in WWII. |
