One of my relatives served under Patton in the Saar and was killed in 12/44 thanks to Eisenhower’s and Bradley’s idiotic decision in September, 1944 to divert gasoline from the Third Army to Bernard Montgomery and the abortive Operation Market Garden.
Had Patton had the gas (he was alrady in the Saar at that point), he might well have ended the war by October. When he finally got it, the window had closed.
You can take Bradley word, if you want. I will take the word of every historian who studied the period, as well as my common sense, which tells me that having conquered Sicily and North Africa, Patton had done nothing to warrant his removal. Res ipsa Loquitur.

Yeah, I think I will take the word of a Four Star General who was there over your un-named "every historian" who "studied" the events....especially given the fact that Ike's own letters of the day support Bradley's telling of the facts.
btw...stating that the thing speaks for itself is not an argument except on Law and Order....more hollywood.
