General Patton was commander of the American Third Army in Europe during WWII. According to the German High Command, Patton was the "most modern general" and the "best commander of armored and infantry troops." Field Marshal Von Rundstedt simply called him our "best."

Patton's army liberated France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Bavaria, Austria and Czechoslavakia. It was Patton’s Third Army which traveled faster than the German blitzkrieg, captured or killed 1,000 Germans every day in combat, trapped 11 German divisions at Falaise, rescued the stranded Allies in Bastogne, finished off the Battle of the Bulge, surrounded and cut off 10 German divisions in the Hansbruck Mountains, crossed the Rhine with only 28 casualties, liberated the first concentration camp, and discovered the German gold reserve. Yet Patton himself was removed from the command of Third Army in disgrace.

Patton was an accomplished soldier whose feats remain unmatched, yet he also had incredible foresight into the events that would transpire after his death. He was the only Allied general who didn't trust the Russians and believed that we should have taken Berlin and gone "On to the Oder."
