My uncle was in the 90th Division. He was proud to have fought under Patton. He died in 2006 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. His last trip was in 1995 for the 50th anniversary of D-Day. The war defined his entire life.

Say what you will about Gen. Patton, he didn't believe in giving the enemy a chance to catch its breath. Once they are running, keep them running. His soldiers were proud to be in his army and did what they did because Gen. Patton believed it could be done.

We were stationed in Stuttgart in the mid 1950’s and we traveled when he was on leave around Europe..

Been there three times in my life loved Every time I went. First time was in 1991 it sure has changed over the years too bad he didn't show some of the German tanks they sent the King Tiger back to Germany it was really something to see in touch. Patton was truly a American Badass.😁🇺🇸

Two years ago, i travelled from Brazil to the US with my wife and two children and decided to drive until the Patton Museum to visit it, after doing so 30 years ago. As a military enthusiast , i wanted to see the museum again and show it to my family. At the moment I drove to the gate, the security agent there asked where we were from and immediately guided us to the exit. No explanations given. The museum seems not t be so eager for visitors. I wrote to the museum telling this and never got a response.

Nevertheless, gen. G.Patton proved in N. Africa that history is written in the battlefield. One of the few who have beaten Rommel's forces. A profound history connoisseur, before the Sicilian campaign, he stressed the importance of Siracusa, by telling the example of the athenian gen. Alcibiades from 416 B.C.(Alcibiades plans were good, though athenians were defeated, due to his arrogance & enemy forces miscalculation).

Thank You for this fantastic video. How great to see all this original things. I only knew these old b/w pictures of Patton. Hello from Germany.

One of the most bad ass generals of the sec ww2 that was bold brave dash and just completely unorthodox in the way he did battle even in it himself no wonder people dont give him enough credit where it was facts as only the general knew those secrets himself

I had the honor to be part of the lineage by serving as a tanker in the 2nd Armored Division (1987-1994). Ever board that I went to asked questions on the history of the 2nd Armored Division which basically about Gen. Patton. To this day I carry myself with his leadership teachings and use it with my own staff.

All branches of our armen forces need a Patton! Fyi he was more educated than most give credit!

Note the 2 notches on the silver revolver...I think they were ftom the border campaign...fine shooting 👍

Dozens of holes in my understanding of The Man The Myth The Legend. Guns (three, two revolvers Colt SA 45, S&W 357, M1911 and Walther PP), Uniforms (did he design his own uniform aka Herman Goering and with personal items and guns wouldn't this be considered out of uniform?). WOW, the medals.

@traveller4790

3 жыл бұрын

The only uniform he designed was a jade green wool gabardine tanker's uniform with gold trim and a gold colored football helmet. He designed it and submitted it to the Army for approval, and they wisely disapproved it. (It was not very functional and was ugly as sin!) As for his Army uniforms, he didn't actually design his own but he modified some of them as he saw fit. Take the bomber jacket, for example - those diamond-shaped patched on the shoulders running down to the sleeve and the outside pocket on the right front were NOT standard on an issued coat like that. Patton had those modifications made himself. He was also the last American general to wear riding boots and breeches on a regular basis, as most general officers had abandoned them when the Army phased them out in the late '30s.

@@greathornedowl3644 Good question. As far as uniforms go, Patton and Bradley were polar opposites - Patton loved ornate uniforms and always dressed to the nines, while Bradley wore the uniform of a regular foot soldier. The only thing that set him apart from a regular dog face were the stars on his collar and helmet; other than that, he looked like just another infantryman. And yeah, Patton was a real hard-ass when it came to his soldiers being in proper uniform. He was VERY big on discipline, and knew that proper dress and appearance played a big part of it. The line from "Patton" that went "they don't look like soldiers, they don't act like soldiers, why should you expect them to fight like soldiers" pretty much summed up the way he felt. He was one of America's best general officers of the 20th century; his only flaw was he didn't know when to keep his mouth shut. And that's one of the things I admire most about him, his candor, honesty, and "I don't give a damn" attitude.

Yo era (soy) admirador de Patton hasta que vi una foto de principios del s. 20 en la que aparece de joven al lado del gral Pershing y ¡Pancho Villa! (al cual persiguieron ellos y nunca pudieron agarrar) - con la complicidad del gob mex -.
