Dwight Eisenhower famously once said that he "studied dramatics under MacArthur" for seven years.
When Patton was assigned as American's first tank school instructor, he was the only person in the entire Army who could drive one. He backed most all of the new tanks they got in Paris off the train by himself. He even spent time on designing a tankers' uniform. There's a picture of him wearing one of his creations that included an American football helmet. He did everything - had to convince other officers to use tanks as infantry support, personally scouted and provided recon and did all the logistical planning for the 1st Provisional Tank Brigade all on his own. Went from Captain to Colonel in a couple of months time.
It is a great tragedy that when Patton lead his tank assault against his fellow WWI vets, he encountered Joe Angelo, the very soldier whom had saved his life during the Meuse-Argonne offensive. When confronted by Angelo, Patton loudly declared "I do not know this man. Take him away and under no circumstances permit him to return." Given that Patton had glorified war so much, you just know that assault on the Bonus Army was just tearing apart his soul. Despite all that we see in that 1970 Patton movie, this moment was probably his darkest hour. He recognized the legitimacy of his fellow veterans complaints.
MacArthur called for Patton. When Patton received this order, he went to find MacArthur. Patton approached MacArthur and as artillery exploded everywhere around them, they stared at each other in the eye. Later on Patton commented on this incident, he said “I saw him blink”-War of the Generals-D.Irving
Two extremely humble men!
In the next War Douglas MacArthur will command Patton's cousin in the Pacific Lieutenant General Chesty Puller, who himself will become legendary in the Marines.
MacArthur was also part of the US Army of occupation in the Rhineland, his Headquarter was located in Sinzig. He fell in love with a German Nurse, Herta Heuser and wanted to marry her. His loveletters were just discovered a short time ago and sold at Sotheby's.
Why am I not surprised Patton and MacArthur did something as badass as have a casual conversation under artillery barrage when they first met?
So MC Arthur made it to Level 55...
No where will you find actual U.S. Army Combat veterans from any time period who have ANY respect for MacArthur. His status, prestige, and rank were all gained by his families prestige, privilege, and political connections.
"MacArthur and Patton, standing together under an artillery barrage chatting about the futility of taking cover" sounds like something out of a fanfiction.
One man described Dougs father Arthur MacArthur succinctly
came home after a hard day -> saw the great war updated -> fully operational again
Surprising, odd, and unbelievably amazing (to the point of goose bumps) to think that they met during the war, and during battle no less, wonder what the odds are
I love that you’re still doing this. Your entire series will be famous 50 years from now, and people will be watching it even 50 years after that. Thanks so much for keeping up the quality work.
We've very much love to late General Douglas Mc Arthur in the philippines we have Mc Arthur highways in Luzon in honor to him.
AWESOME! Thank you. I have been looking forward to this episode since I found this channel in '15!
This is one of the best channels on KZread. Your videos are so high quality and interesting! Truly amazing job.
This video works as another great prelude to your other series! Great Job Indy and Gang!
I saw on a documentary that MacArthur graduated with the second highest standing at West Point , of all time.
