Killing Patton: The Strange Death of World War II's Most Audacious General
http://www.amazon.com ^ | September 23, 2014 | Bill O'Reilly and Margin Dugard

Posted on 09/24/2014 7:27:56 AM PDT by NKP_Vet

Readers around the world have thrilled to Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, and Killing Jesus--riveting works of nonfiction that journey into the heart of the most famous murders in history. Now from Bill O’Reilly, anchor of The O’Reilly Factor, comes the most epic book of all in this multimillion-selling series: Killing Patton.

General George S. Patton, Jr. died under mysterious circumstances in the months following the end of World War II. For almost seventy years, there has been suspicion that his death was not an accident--and may very well have been an act of assassination. Killing Patton takes readers inside the final year of the war and recounts the events surrounding Patton’s tragic demise, naming names of the many powerful individuals who wanted him silenced.

The latest copy and paste from Bill O'Reilly, summizing that Patton was murdered. Is there anything this blow-hard will not do for a buck?

Jeep rollover.
Might not have been an accident due to German SS Werewolf operatives being active in the area, BUT that doesn’t mean it wasn’t just an accident.
As no proof of former being involved in it, it isn’t likely unless something has come to light.

No, there isn’t! I know a lot about the assassination of Lincoln and the egregious errors in that tome were an insult. And to think people lap this stuff up (and they do).

Patton died from injuries suffered in a traffic accident. Period, end of story. It’s nice when you can ignore plain facts.

According to O’Reilly, Stalin sent his goons to assassinate Patton because he was one of the few who saw through his plans and was going on a speaking tour in the USA to agitate for destroying his (then) weakened military.

“I know, we’ll kill Patton. Yeah. We’ll do it with a truck, by running it into his car. The other people in the car will not even be hurt, even the people in the front seat in a head on collision. And he’ll live for weeks and then die.

We’re good, huh?

How can something be "the most epic [whatever-it-is]".

Things are either of an epic scale -- or they are not.

...and Jeeps roll over VERY easily.

I know this because I saw a story about it on 60 Minutes...

PS - I think he was riding in some sort of car, not a Jeep, at the time of his fatal auto accident.

I think the writer of this book might have a nice little lawsuit around the corner for Mr. Blowhard O’Reilly. Looks like “Killing Patton” is an “epic” ripoff of someone elses material.

It wasn’t a jeep, and it wasn’t a roll over. His large car was hit head on by a truck. The 3 others in the car with Patton weren’t even hurt, and Patton was in the back seat. He hit his head, broke his neck and died weeks later.

Cagey killers, huh?

Just because he is a blowhard doesn’t make him a bad guy. I read Killing Lincoln and liked it, even learned from it. So what if he co-writes his books they are OK just the same.

Thanks, Bill O!
