PATTON'S THIRD ARMY Pre-Operational Phase In Normandy When the Third Army Headquarters landed on French soil, the first thing done was to insure absolute security. In accordance with the plan Overlord, the presence of the Third Army was to be kept secret as long as possible. The idea was to keep the German High Command guessing as to the where- about's of General Patton.During the first days in the Allied invasion, the XIX Tactical Air Command, whose primary job was aerial support for the Third Army, established its own headquarters adjacent to the army headquarters. Their detailed planning then started...

A General Patton's Address to the Troops, Part I, The Background Research Anyone who has ever viewed the motion picture PATTON will never forget the opening. George Campbell Scott, portraying Patton, standing in front of an immensely huge American flag, delivers his version of Patton's "Speech to the Third Army" on June 5th, 1944, the eve of the Allied invasion of France, code named "Overlord." Scott's rendition of the speech was highly sanitized so as not to offend too many fainthearted Americans. Luckily, the soldiers of the American Army who fought World War II were not so fainthearted. After one...

Well, here we are again today. At war. As I have said many times, war is a constant. After WWI and the "war to end all wars" I told everyone to just wait a while and another one would be right along. I see nothing has changed in that regard and I expect nothing to change in the future. War will always be with us because their will always be tyrants and dictators who think they can rule the world.
