Patton was in a large sedan with another U.S Army general. The driver was a Sgt., I think. I imagine that just like J.F.K., the "conspiracy theories" about Gen. Patton's death will continue for many years. Just my opinion. L.W. "Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces."

Every time I think of Patton, my mind sees a picture of the actor George C Scott. I think he did some boxing and got his nose messed up? If I remember correctly.

This chap does a pretty balanced job on most historical stuff and covers Patton in this video. There are in my view, some rather interesting circumstances surrounding his death for sure. All the best to you all sir. Dwayne The most important stuff in life isn't "stuff"

I don't know how we got talking about Alaska and he said it was "Cold as Hell." He thought Fairbanks was particularly miserable. He was super funny in the flesh.
