I bet Patton drove Montgomery nuts, even worse than Rommel. Patton played by his own set of rules, and his superiors turned a blind eye as long as Patton was victorious. That made Monty nervous because for one; Patton was getting all the credit, two; Monty was worried there might come a day when he was no longer relevant and Patton would be running the show. For an egoistical leader like Monty, that thought was more frightening than being killed in battle.

We have ideals in the US that are often in conflict with one another. We want to win, but we want to be nice too. We want out leaders to get things done, but they should be polite and play nice. We should be #1, but not be too arrogant. These ideals are always in conflict with one another. It-s just part of American culture.

laughable to see Patton riding at the front. My great uncle was there fighting under Patton and he and other old vets all told me the same story, Patton was miles behind the front and never in any danger at any time. Just like all of our other brave leaders.

American soldiers were killed by friendly fire from US aircraft at Sicily because Patton moved the troops in too fast! My Dad was there. You need to get your facts straight and don't leave out pertinent information.

patton lead many attacks into mash units to slap shell shocked soldiers around and when patton reached Palermo the Germans were gone. I won't mention the fact that the British and Canadians did most of the fighting.

If we had some Pattons today the Afghanistan disaster would not have happened as it did, Patton had guts and was not afraid to lead, to many in leadership positions today are just that, in the position!

Actually the Canadians were about to take Rome when they got orders to halt. let the yanks take it, don't worry that the Canadians fought their way to that point, they lost a lot of good soldiers.

I always wondered why the Americans didn-t land at Massina to prevent the enemy from escaping to the Italy boot. The Germany-s would have been prevented from escaping. does anyone know why?

There are no longer any - Patton-s - left in our military. I-m a vet and none has emerged from WW2 til present. I even question the loyalty of today-s generals to our constitution.

someone spouted over how Canada took Italy, they had 26000 casualties during the entire campaign the US had 59000 just in Anzio, so go spread your nonsense elsewhere

I wish we had generals today who are winners. I'm afraid most of our generals are careerists rather than patriots. That's harsh, but I think it is true. They've gone WOKE.

It is interesting that Patton believed in reincarnation. It is also interesting
the murky details about his death. It is almost a -who killed Kennedy moment. -

If a topic in military history interests me as strongly as this period in history, it benefits me to first hear it from General McChrystal.
Well done, sir.

Many Patton soldiers had a phrase for him. 'Blood and guts Paotton' but they always added 'his guts and our blood' Casualties were never important to him.

George Patton was one of the greatest American generals. He was a total warfare soldier first general whom the naszi-s feared more than the others

If Patton hadn't slapped those two soldiers, D-Day and then the overall Battle of Normandy could've looked very different under his leadership.

160, 000 American troops is can't be compared to the millions of troops the USSR deployed. Jukov had a much greater impact than Patton.

Germany and Japan poured their sweat and blood in fighting the Allies while Italy ate pizza and watched from the sidelines.

Both of my grandfathers were there in the 3rd Army. Of course, they didn-t know each other at the time. My father was in Vietnam.
