Some think its why he died in that ‘car accident’.
The Germans respected the heck out of him. He had Bavaria clean and lit, with water running and food flowing inside of a month.
He had German officers training German troops in camps to resume law and order.
They idolized him. Ike fired him for it.
I read the same rumors over the years. Damn Ike held him and the Mighty 3rd Army in check due to politics. If Patton had his way, he would have beat the Russkies.
“Patton was right all along.” “ Ike fired him for it.”
