Indeed he was. Was not one of those “fighting the last war” generals.

And I have heard this more than once. Maybe it has some legs.

One big problem with the assassination theory is that the General was the only one in the vehicle that died and the survivors lived long lives.

Patton , as a result of the accident, had a broken or dislocated vertebrae in his neck. He was totally paralyzed from the neck down. He died from complications of that severe injury. Remember this was 1945 and even with present day medical care actor Christopher Reeves(SP?) died from a similar injury. An motor vehicle crash used as an attempt to assassinate a person is an unlikely method for use as a means to bring about a man’s death.

Very interesting book. Reach your own conclusion, but there is some very interesting and obscure history in it.

GEN Patton died from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. This “documentary” and the book written by Robert Wilcox are just fictional nonsense.
