There is an idea being put forward to send an American armored division to the Middle East to aid in the crumbling situation in that theater and Patton would be in charge of this force.

I don't think this will go anywhere. Who would Gen. Patton be reporting to over there, Ritchie? Eisenhower? Either option raises thorny questions. Also, how long would it take to transport an armored division from continental U.S. to N. Africa? By the time they get there Rommel may control the Red Sea.
