My grandfather was a 3rd Army Sergeant, he didn't talk much about any of WWII or Patton. Until his funeral, I hadn't known about his two bronze stars and some other awards. They are in a frame with a folded flag in my grandmother's den.

I am not that conspiracy minded, however, I think there is more to GSP's demise than will ever be known and I would lay odds if anything was, the Sovs had a big hand in it. I bet it tore him up spending his last hours laid up instead of being on a battlefield.

If I have to go to war, I want a Patton type in charge. There don't seem to be many around.

Interesting, I had been following developments the last few years on this story. Ollie North had a segment on some of this info about Patton on Foxnews War Stories.

Rommel & Patton, similar duties, similar fates?

Just finished a long book series about the OSS written by Griffin called ‘Men At War’. Highly recommended. Judging by what other things Donovan did, this isn't a surprise.

Thanks for that tale and opinion.
