Patton didn't "hate" Rommel or the Germans in particular -- they were the ENEMY to be vanquished. He made himself "hate" them the way you have to "hate" whom you fight/shoot at. But he respected good soldiering and intelligence. One can respect someone without "liking" them. Rommel was no dummy and Patton knew it.

Remained a formidable opponent up until late war, which was fixed by the British putting in a big dicc energy gun on it. And it was the most survivable tank of the war.

I saw this movie when I was a teenager. I loved his scene and Patton's line. Thirty years later, I found Rommel's Book (Infantry Attack) and read the same. Looking at the scene again and remembering what I read, Patton's line makes absolutely no sense. Rommel's book was about indirect attacks, exploiting weaknesses, movement, avoiding frontal assaults, and not wasting resources on hopeless lines of approach. The scene is an example of exactly the opposite. Assuming Patton read his book, that attack would have been the last thing he would have had in mind coming into the fight.Nevertheless, it was a really good movie.

This is depicting the battle of El Guettar where the 10th Panzer Division attacked to disrupt an American build up. And the Americans countered the German panzers tactics for the first time.

The point being, when a potentially superior opposing force possessing mobile superiority and state-of-the-art machinery has literally written the book on how he conducts his operations, a guy facing him would do well to read it. Please, this picture above most others is pageantry, not history.

Mark Felton may have identified these as tanks that Germany captured and repainted 😎

My grandfather commanded a tank platoon in the 3rd Army. Saw Patton once. On a road in mountainous country with hairpin turns and warnings about speed. Said he heard a Jeep up the hill that sounded like it was really moving. It rounded a corner in front of him and Patton was hitting his driver’s helmet with his riding crop yelling “faster goddamit.” Disappeared down the road and that was his Patton story.

Patton is amazing. One of my favorite WW2 movies. He loved the sting of battle.

I remember staying up till 2am as a kid to watch this movie. Awesome movie.

Rommel was using Patton’s, too bad there isn’t a Rommel tank that Patton could’ve used

Scott you are sorely missed. Thank you for the memories.

Well there weren't many original German tanks left after WW2, since the third Reich produced the least amount among the other nations. So Hollywood 'had' to improvise with cold war era US tanks and just paint iron crosses and dessert camo on them when making these kind of films.

Great biography on a very complex man. One great scene after another; this one's among the best!

My uncle George Morgan, won the silver star at El Guettar. He was in the 47th Infantry Regiment. He was killed in battle in Sicily on August 7th, 1943. I wish I could have had the opportunity to know him. I will meet him in heaven one day.

In the documentary series, Great Tank Battles, Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster tells a story of a captured Iraqi tanker sitting in an American Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The Bradley crew had taped a photo of General Field Marshall Irwin Rommel inside the crew compartment. The Iraqi asked, "Why do you have a photo of your adversary inside your vehicle?" The American Soldier said, "If you had studied Rommel, then you wouldn't be sitting in the back of my vehicle."

While some people say that Patton “missed a D-Day” he was actually an intrinsic part of the planning. The Germans knew of his value as a field commander, and his being in command of the first army [even though it was a fictitious army of inflatable tanks] he diverted the Germans long enough for the landings in Normandy to be successful. The station of the first army across from País de Calais kept most of the armor there waiting for Patton and believing that since he was not in Normandy that the landings were a ruse.

You should read an account on the Hoover Institution site on 'The German View of Patton' by a German historian, Henrik Bering. Put simply, the Germans had never heard of him. For example, in a report produced by the German military in February, 1944, about Allied commanders for a potential D-Day, Patton does not feature. People's views of Patton today seem to be based on the ludicrous 1970 movie, which itself was based on Ladislas Farago's hagiography of him, rather than on the actual historical personality.

But yeah, their Tsar was fucking incompetent. But you have to agree that Japan was the only Axis power other than Germany to ever do something

I love this move for many reasons. But the most is because, although you can despise your enemy, you can still respect their military prowess.

I would just like to,add that Karl Malden did an outstanding job as Omar Bradley. My favorite line of his was”that’s the big difference between you and me George-I do this job because I was trained for it, you do because…you love it”

Love how the older movies have practical effects instead of CGI.

Thank you Linkara. Now I'll never get this out of my head!!! X)

I love it when a plan comes together!

M48 Pattons aside, it's pretty amazing how this scene was coordinated and filmed!

George C Scott was so magnificent in this role he almost doomed himself to never being able to be anyone but Patton in Hollywood

"How should we show tactics so Patton looks like he countered Rommel?" "Idk, just explode everything"

RIP, George C. Scott and the real George S. Patton.

Patton subscribed to the Book of the Month Club: This month's offering Rommel and the Art of Tank Warfare

I just finished Rommel's book "Infantry Attacks," and this is how I feel lolz. On the off chance that I ever meet him, I can say the same thing. "I read your BOOK!"

@SeanP7195

Yes they make a point in this movie to point that out. Patton had originally believed that he had here

When you think about it, that would mean Rommel's downfall was his vanity, he wrote books on his tactics so they would be recognized for their genius and in turn his reputation as a strategist would also be renowned, why else would one publish them? Because he shared his secrets, it would only take a mind as sharp as his to devise countermeasures and so make his brilliant tactics all but useless.

Not quite. Later in the movie it's revealed that Rommel had already left the country prior to the battle and that Patton was actually fighting some random German general. Patton flips out because he feels cheated out of his glory. Patton and Rommel never ended up fighting against each other during the war.

Patton was one of a kind, his understanding as a tactician should be recognized..

None of the equipment is correct, but it is a fantastic movie.

We Germans love him still. The "Erwin Rommel Kaserne" is the best exampel.
