New Book on Gen Patton's Assassination
« on: December 22, 2008, 03:17:38 AM »
'We've got a terrible situation with this great patriot, he's out of control and we must save him from himself'. The OSS head General did not trust Patton, so he got rid of America's famous general.  Patton was in every major WW2 action ......TM7

I guess they'll just have to dig him up and do an autopsy.

"George Patton, a dynamic controversialist who wore pearl handled revolvers on each hip ..."
 ::)  Pearl handled my a%#! >:(  Anybody remember what he said when someone would call them "pearl" handles?   :D

I remember listening to conversations, in the 50's, where it was pretty much agreed to by everyone that Patton had been assassinated... by someone.  The "someone" being the major topic of disagreement.

Also as I remember, his wife would never speak to the Eisenhower's after the war.
