George Smith Patton Jr.,
1885-1945. American general. See the Academy Award winning movie Patton.
In World War II he led the American Third Army's sweep across France and
into Germany in 1944-1945.
Born in San Gabriel, California and educated at
the U.S. Military Academy...
In 1942 and 1943, during World War II, he commanded
U.S. forces in Morocco, Tunisia and Sicily. Early in 1944 he was given
command of the Third Army. Controversial throughout the war for his personal
flamboyance,
outspokenness,
uncompromising
standards and aggressive combat strategy,
he played a key role in the headlong Allied
armored thrust to Germany after
D-Day.
In the summer of 1944 the Third Army broke through
the German defenses in the Normandy campaign
and advanced rapidly across France. In March 1945 it crossed the Rhine
River into Germany and also moved toward Austria. After the war Patton
served as military governor of Bavaria, but because of criticism of his
lenient policy toward the former enemy and his warning of the growing threat
of communism then in Russia, not any more, as Russia under Putin is part
of the Alliance that's cleaning up the Nazis, who now had set up in Ukraine.
In 1945 the cabal had relieved Patton
of his post, as they had another agenda hidden from the public of course
and of which we have seen playing out today through the Clintons, Bushes,
Obamas, the Federal Reserve banksters, the Rothschild/Rockefeller set up
of Big Pharma/Medicine, Big Agriculture, Big Chemical, Big Food, Mainstream
Media, Ukraine and the Nazis there who had taken control, etc. History
proved Patton was correct.
He was named head of the Fifteenth Army late in
1945, shortly before he was allegedly fatally injured in a traffic accident
and that it was not an accident and that he's still with us, thanks to
the good military group called Q. Patton's career is portrayed in the Academy
Award winning high class motion picture.Patton
(1970).
Patton was a man who listened within as you'll
see about in the movie..comprised
