I’ll have to check out the Ricks book. See if he has anything on Alexander Patch who replaced Patton as commander of 7th Army. Patch was another very good general who didn’t cultivate publicity and who died soon after WWII came to an end. My dad served under Patch and thought highly of him.
Patton was 3rd army at the close of the war. Patch came up from the south in operation dragoon with the 7th.
The Admirals is also a good read. Halsey was lucky not to be court marshaled.
