I hope the author of this book is kicking back a portion of his royalties to the screenwriters of “Brass Target” — a really bad movie with George Kennedy as Patton.

Yeah, sure.

This crap is right up there with that horse crap story about JFK being accidentally shot with an M-16 by one of his SS guys.

The human mind is certainly fertile and self-feeding; it blooms this silliness and continues growing it with the crap it continues to generate.

Does the author of this...uh, er, story actually believe that something of this nature could have happened to a person of Patton's stature and someone, someone, somewhere has not come forward already?

I truly think the sales of tinfoil are enhanced by these types of authors, if indeed they can be called authors.

I suspect they purchase a large amount of it, themselves.

From the article : "George Patton, a dynamic controversialist who wore pearl handled revolvers.."

This guy didn't even watch the movie ..

excerpt..."His book, "Target Patton", contains interviews with Mr Bazata, who died in 1999,..."

Mr Bazata led an extraordinary life. He was a member of the Jedburghs, the elite unit who parachuted into France to help organise the Resistance in the run up to D-Day in 1944. He earned four purple hearts, a Distinguished Service Cross and the French Croix de Guerre three times over for his efforts.

After the war he became a celebrated artist who enjoyed the patronage of Princess Grace of Monaco and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

He was friends with Salvador Dali, who painted a portrait of Bazata as Don Quixote.

He ended his career as an aide to President Ronald Reagan's Navy Secretary John Lehman, a member of the 9/11 Commission and adviser to John McCain's presidential campaign.


Really? Did he come back to life? Or, was he just "undead"?
