I agree with you ,now that we look back on history it is nice to think what could have been.
Patton was not a politician it probably added to his demise..
I agree with you, too. Patton should have been given the resources to blast right across the Rhine and drive on Berlin, it would have caused a major consternation in what was left of the German war planning; Hitler’s Antwerp plan (the Battle of the Bulge) would have been born dead, and also it would have settled once and for all which of the generals really did have it going on — Patton, or that handful of military geniuses among German field commanders.
Afterthought regarding my earlier what-if — for that matter, the Korean War probably would not have happened, either.
G’night! :’)
