Patton was in England on D-Day, leading an imaginary/fake army made up of inflatable tanks/jeeps/aircraft to fool the Germans, maybe the greatest trickery in modern military history. Patton hated not being involved in the middle of the action on D-Day. The Third Army didn't land at Normandy until August 1st. What Patton and the Third Army did from there is now the stuff of WWII legend. The Third Army broke out of Normandy and "advanced farther, captured more enemy prisoners, and liberated more territory in less time than any other army in history" So fast that the only thing that stopped them was they ran out of gas.

Sadly, there's a lot of evidence that Patton was an anti-Semite himself, though he chose a Jew to write his official biography and his personal secretary was Jewish.

I won't even comment on the rest of the utter crap in this thread typed by racist losers who woudn't even be fit to serve in anybody's army.
