“Patton is Reported on Normandy Front”
Thank heaven! What took them so long?!
I'm not sure how accurate that is. The Third Army was established in France on 1 August, So Patton could well have been in France a few days prior to that but Operation Cobra was First Army. Maybe German intelligence got it right.
Reminds me of the poem in the Scarlet Pimpernel, a really great movie of heroism of one called the Scarlet Pimpernel who who rescued the condemned under the noses of French during the Jacobean bloodbath of the French Revolution. (Of course, in this case, it's the Germans that can't find Patton.)
"We seek him here, we seek him there Those Frenchies seek him everywhere! Is he in heaven? Or is he in hell? That demmed Elusive Pimpernel?"
