The Tragic Death of General George S. Patton

There are many famous and controversial figures to emerge from World War II, but General S. Patton is arguably one of its most controversial. During World War II, Patton commanded victorious battles in the Mediterranean, North Africa, and mainland Europe.

But even though he had won famous victories and employed effective strategies during WWII, Patton was also known for his many controversies that included slapping shell shocked soldiers and sending a doomed task force to free his son-in-law from a POW camp. However, few would have thought that this man of war would die in a hospital bed after a car crash. This is the tragic death of General S. Patton.

Do you believe any of the conspiracies surrounding the death of General Patton?

"We may have been fighting the wrong enemy all along"

- General George S. Patton -

Politicians were afraid that he’d return to the USA, retire from the Army, and run for President...

Being a history major, I truly believe he was murdered. What happened to the driver of the truck that hit General Patton? The U.S. government is to blame.

We defeated the wrong enemy.. Patton’s death was no accident

[markpatterson]

Children and grandchildren of those who served under Patton know that he was murdered. RIP General Patton.

Patton had foresight, it must be said

My father was a tanker, 4th Armored Division, Patton’s 3rd Army. Dad always maintained General Patton’s “accident” was planned; that the circumstances & outcome “didn’t add up” & he was for all intent & purpose, murdered.

The last words of a Patton:

“We overcome the wrong enemy”

For me this words change history

Rest In Peace General George S. Patton.

In death, all men are equal. Likewise, a war legend. He was tough and brash. The battlefield was his theater and command performance.

[shalomccs]

He knew war was a business for bankers and that they lend money to all countries involved.

[robertclifton]

He was murdered one of our greatest generals of all time . He was assainated for political reasons and he was right to advocate taking out Russia . They were not our ally but a necessity for the time and as horrible Hitler was Stalin was worse as it led to the Cold War .

[THEMARK]

The funny thing about conspiracy theories is that they usually turn out to be true.

[angelamagnus]

He was killed because he spoke the truth.

[stevenbass]

The title should read "The assassination of General Patton".

[ELEMENTALMUZ]

Patton was I feel and believe the greatest General and had great and larger than life charisma. His worlds were big and he meant everything he said and was a man of action. There's no way he could have lived much longer without fighting in a war and when he wanted to take troops and march into the USSR and push Stalin out of eastern Europe, his actions would have helped avert the cold war. He knew Stalin was evil and a murdering dictator and couldn't be trusted. It can not be ruled out that someone who was Patton's enemy head or set up to cause the accident that got him paralyzed and ultimately causing his premature death.

I have been to the American cemetery in Luxembourg. As cemeteries go it’s beautiful. Saw Patton’s grave while there.

[FAHHH-Q]

Patton is one of the top 5 greatest Americans to ever live !

[nikaluss]

He was murdered because he saw that we “defeated the wrong enemy.” and the beast among us ordered him dead.
