@@curtdenson2360. You must be RepubliKlan member. Your new messiah is Trumpleforeskin Cheesus Christ whose assigned himself to the new "white" house to serve as Secret Fox News President. Top Secret material included.

No you need more officers like Hodges Devers Simpson men who got on with the job and who achieved more with less propaganda that Patton had. Pattons' Metz Campaign was a disaster 3 months for 60 miles against a sick/ old soldier Army. Compare that with Lt Gen Dempsey who advanced 100+ miles in 11 days against a good strong enemy.

Bro, Trump is the reincarnation of General George Patton. Hope that helps.

Oui! Aucun autre choix que le Président Ronald Reagan pour la narration.

A great man referred to him as Ronaldus Magnus! RIP Patton, Reagan and all the American Heroes who have fought through violent action and acts of public work to keep this Republic.

@Colby Kian should I be afraid to do this ?

@@Not-a-bot222 Read more on Reagan; he sucked.

Agreed - perfect narration and a worthy tribute by one great American to another.

Awesome story mam

Glad to see some else is watching this historic video too... I love history

U mean a hot meal everyday

Patton, Eisenhower they all served under the greatest US General of them all. General of the Army Douglas McArthur his efforts against the Japanese saving Australia and his landing at Inchon in Korea make him the greatest of them all!!

@@htram373 Well, if you want to get right down to it all those generals (including MacArthur) served at one time under the greatest US general ever... John J Pershing.

@@htram373 Thé greatest, I am not ready to agree.

Marvelous anecdote. Thank you.

He also personally killed two of Pancho Villa's top lieutenants.

Patton’s uncles killed at Gettysburg? How old was his father? Surely great-uncles?

Sir Rather Splendid his father, George William Patton born 9/30/1856, died 1927.his grandfather, George Smith Patton died 1864. You are correct it was a great uncle who died at Gettysburg. I was mistaken, I read somewhere that 2 uncles had died but it was only one. Waller Tazewell Patton.

Matthew Miller - Patton’s Wikipedia biog says his Paternal Grandfather was killed in action during the Civil War, and a great-uncle during Pickett’s Charge.

John Paul Jones would like to know your location. "I have not yet begun to fight"

Tommy Sullivan: wouldn’t you agree that to win, its necessary first to want to win? I have zero doubt that today’s military leaders want to win, or that those preceding them have always wanted to win. I also have no illusions about Trump’s desire to win, or his determination that war fighting should be left to the pros, not to politicians and bureaucrats. If the same had been true in Korea, VN, and pretty much every U.S. military engagement since 1945, there’d be far fewer communists and their more pansy-assed socialist cousins on planet Earth today. Additionally, the Islamic threat facing western civilization now likely wouldn’t exist very much either. Trust me, really big stones and absolute determination amongst our military leaders and war fighters are in plentiful abundance today. It is the lack of fierce determination and commitment amongst our political and bureaucratic class that constantly fails us.

Definitely!

@@c5back9 As General Douglas MacArthur once said there is no substitute for victory!. That's why President Truman benched him.

No we dont! Do you realize because of his ambition for glory he rushed his men to clear the cities and they were unnecessarily killed... He was a complete Arrogant Imbecile and a failure as a general ...he was an idiot!!!

we need generals that win wars without a fight. if we have to fight u. get patton, monty, and a few others.

I was going that....but you beat me to it.

Amen & ditto

Patton was a good general, not a good person though.

STOP the hyperbole He was NOT your greatest not in WW2 not anywhere.

We can see the sentiment in that famous statement but had the allies defeated Soviet Russia what would have become of Nazi Germany? Maybe Fascism would now be the threat rather than Communism which has declined immeasurably over the past 30 years.

What Patton was saying in that comment was that they should have taken on the Soviets while they were in a position to do so from the position of strength that they were now in.

@James Henderson Did he!? I didn't know that! Please send the link for us to confirm. I always considered General Patton a Patriot and a good man.

No, actually, it is not. It is dead. I live here.

@KI time .....No I thought that Lenin and Stalin were bad enough!. And what the Soviets put all of eastern Europe was bad enough!.

G'day Nick, with all due respect, you couldn't be more wrong. General Von Manstein and General Rommel were employing tanks, mobile artillery, infantry divisions and Luftwaffe wings long before General Patton left America to commence his service in WW2. The German tactic was 'nicknamed' Blitzkrieg and it is precisely what Patton did, but much later. However, one can see an earlier version of multiple-element force attacks in the last year of WW1 as practiced by British and Australian/New Zealand forces. These tactics were the brainchild of two Australian generals: Sir John Monash and his Chief of Staff Major Sir Thomas Blamey (later to become a full General in WW2 and C-i-C of Australian ground forces.) In 1950 he was made Australia's first Field Marshal. Blamey was repeatedly credited, publicly, by SIr John Monash as being the primary planner of this multi-element attack system in WW1. When the Nazis began this style of attack in late 1939, early 1940 they called it Blitzkrieg. (Hitler, reportedly hated this name; he thought it was, "silly".) General Patton, rightly, used blitzkrieg against the Nazis because he knew it would work. Patton, between the wars wrote two books on Australia's WW1 tactics and of the rough time they had in 1915 at Gallipoli, a Turkish peninsula. Patton was intimately aware of this kind of attack system it is just that he was not, as you say, "...probably the first general to realise the effectiveness of a combined force assault...". Kind regards, Bill Halliwell

@@BillHalliwell 99th👌know

@@BillHalliwell The desert Fox wrote a book on tank warfare, the great General Patton and Field Marshall Monty both said they read it. All three are Armour warfare genius, but Patton was more fanatic in a good way , they also studied Khalid Ben Walid who was never deleted in battle. Patton also believed in reincarnation and had fought with the Greeks and Roman's, what a soldier 💙

Bull dust Australian John Monash at Hamel in WW1 was before Patton and he planned a battle for 90 minutes it took 93 minutes Not bad for a German Jew from Australia

Es posible que su propia GENTE lo dejó morir en el Hospital de Berlín porque hablaba muchas verdades que a muchos Generales no les gustaban , y ERA un potencial JEFE de Estado Mayor, ó futuro CANDIDATO presidencial.. SIEMPRE fue raro el Accidente con el Camión MILITAR....y que se investigó , pero no muy profundamente....y también lo descuidaron en el Hospital...ok.la Historia se quedó así.

Attacking the Soviet Union would have been traitorous, reckless, and, quite possibly, disastrous. It was an inane and immoral idea, and thank God cooler heads prevailed.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! SO, GLORIFYING MURDER IS SOMEHOW RIGHTEOUS? ENJOY YOUR BRAINWASHING PEON. COOLEY.... SLAVE

You do Bradley Hodges Devers Simpson a disservice They were all the equal and in Bradleys case his superior If Patton was so good Why did Bradley get the nod over him by Marshall and the Army Chiefs of Staff

@@michaelweizer7794 In truth, that's inevitably what the new world order brings, though it purports do do otherwise.

And how the bloody hell were you going to do that ? Keep going where? to Moscow ? Germany failed at the peak of their powers The Russians had almost 200 Divisions in East Germany They would have rolled Patton up like a carpet.

Michel Dieleman 100% agree

Going up against the Germans on any kind of equal terms , he wasn't any better than any other general....not to mention the ill fated rescue attempt of his son in law from a prisoner of war camp which was a waste of lives and achieved nothing...read Carlo D'este, Max Hastings or Stephen Ambrose for a few not-so well-known facts about him

He really wasn't. He was great, don't get me wrong. He was doubtless the Allies best battlefield commander of the war, but he really wasn't better than the all-time greats like Napoleon, Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal, etc.

Absolutely , plus his brave men liberated my hometown Pilsen . Everybody loves general Patton in Pilsen.

@@Hibernicus1968 Interesting that Patton himself considered Hannibal to be the "Greatest General" of all time and studied his tactics. Of course the term General would not have been thought of in those times but he was the ancient equivalent.

He was a propaganda specialist

If you are going to praise Patton spell his name right.

praise?@@jacktattis

@@blackkaw1 When it is warranted.

Please don't insult General Patton by associating him with the coward Dugout Doug.

Gee do you often back losers MacArthur ran away and left his men at Corregidor was a bum general in WW2 and Patton was replaced in Italy and sent to look after a phantom Army in England

Oh dear, enough of the hyperbole he was not even YOUR best. You do know that there were Generals who defeated Rommel before Patton was even there. Our Own "Ming the Merciless Morshead " held back Rommel for 7 months at Tobruk when Rommel was sweeping all before him No Patton was capable but not the best.

No you Americans look at him with rose coloured glasses He was capable had a great press Corps telling the world how great he was. He had equals in your Army and we had better in ours

No not even close and I am not American

Unstoppable??? He was held up for 60 days for 60 miles at the Metz Lorraine Campaign against a sick / old German Army

Patton *failed* to reach the Westwall in Lorraine, sustaining 52,000 casualties.

How about Ambrose Burnside? Oh wait! Never mind!

Except that Patton never commanded in a major campaign.

@@HongTran-be8up We all pick someone to trust in their research Hong. Who are you getting tis information from? "populist rubbish' - So I'll ask you to state your bias, mine is conservative, nationalist in the sense that the nation state, is the most efficient way to govern large groups and the largest area in which to do it. Healthy, Democratic nation states with secure borders, cooperating with each other in trade, tourism, defense, technological advances, education, etc., have proven very successful since the end of WW2. That is a globalism that doesn't destroy nations and peoples but preserves them, and the diverse languages, customs and traditions (Diversity) we enjoy in tourism or even residing in other countries. All this happens under the umbrella and security of Western Liberal values. One man's trash is another man's treasure, I treasure this system, apart from anything VDH says. I have only high school edu. and am a semi-retired carpenter/builder. So what's your bias, ideology, favored system of governing, country that you admire, leaders or academics you respect, etc.?

@@HongTran-be8up Listen to Hanson and you would think all others in WW2 were helpers to the USA. He is cringe-worthy to view. Britain was key in WW2. Britain fought on every front, being in the war on the first day up to the last - the only country at the surrender of Japan in September 1945 to do so - Britain’s war actually ended in 1946 staying on in Viet Nam using Japanese troops alongside British troops to defeat the Viet Minh, but that is another story. Britain was not attacked or attacked anyone, going into WW2 on principle. The Turkish ambassador to the UK stated that the UK can raise 40 million troops from its empire so will win the war. This was noted by Franco who indirectly said to Hitler he would not win, fearing British occupation of Spanish islands and territory if Spain joined the war. Spain and Turkey stayed out of the war. The Turkish ambassador’s point was given credence when an army of 2.6 million was assembled in India that moved into Burma to wipe out the Japanese. From day one the Royal Navy formed a ring around the Axis positioning ships from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Arctic off Norway, blockading the international trade of the Axis. This deprived the Axis of vital human & animal food, oil, rubber, metals, and other vital resources. By February 1941 the successful Royal Navy blockade had confined the Italian navy to port due to lack of oil. By the autumn of 1941 Germany's surface fleet was confined to harbour, by the British fleet and the chronic lack of fuel. A potential German invasion from the the USSR in the north into the oil rich Middle East entailed expanded British troop deployment to keep the Germans away from the oil fields, until they were defeated at Stalingrad. Throughout 1942 British Commonwealth troops were fighting, or seriously expecting to be attacked, in: ♦ French North Africa; ♦ Libya; ♦ Egypt; ♦ Cyprus; ♦ Syria: where an airborne assault was expected, with preparations to reinforce Turkey if they were attacked; ♦ Madagascar: fighting the Vichy French to prevent them from inviting the Japanese in as they had done in Indochina; ♦ Iraq; ♦ Iran: the British & Soviets invaded Iran in August 1941. Those spread-out covering troops were more in combined numbers than were facing Japan and Rommel in North Africa. The British Commonwealth fielded over 100 divisions in 1942 alone, compared to the US total of 88 by the end of the war. The Americans and Soviets were Johnny-come-late in WW2, moreso the Americans. Before the USSR entered the conflict the Royal Navy’s blockade had reduced the Italian and German surface navies to the occasional sorties because of a lack of oil, with the British attacking the Germans and Italians in North Africa, also securing Syria, Iraq, the Levant and ridding the Italians from East Africa. The Germans were on the run by the time the USA had boots on the ground against the Axis. The Germans had been stopped: ♦ in the west at the Battle of Britain in 1940; ♦ in the east at the Battle of Moscow in 1941. In which Britain provided 40% of the Soviet tanks. The Germans were on the run after the simultaneous battles in late 1942 of: ♦ El Alemein; ♦ Stalingrad; The Battle of El Alemein culminated in a quarter of a million Axis prisoners taken in Tunisia - more than taken at Stalingrad. Apart from the US Filipino forces that surrendered in early 1942, the US had a couple of divisions in Gaudalcanal after August 1942, and one in New Guinea by November 1942. In 1943 the US managed to get up to six divisions in the Pacific, but still not matching the British or British Indian armies respectively. Until late 1943 the Australian Army alone deployed more ground fighting troops against the Japanese than the USA. The Americans never put more ground troops into combat against the Japanese at any point than just the British Indian Army alone, which was 2.6 million strong. The US had nowhere near 2.6 million men on the ground against the Japanese. The Soviets fielded about a million against the Japanese. Most Japanese troops were put out of action by the British and Soviets, not the USA. At the battles of Khohima and Imphal the Japanese suffered their worst defeat in their history up to that point - known as the Stalingrad of the east. Then the British set the Eastern and Pacific fleets against the Japanese, not far off in numbers to the US fleet. You will not see Hanson tell you anything of the above.

@@johnburns4017 That's thorough John, thanks. When work slows I'll copy it and go over it closely. Is there a book you would recommend or are you speaking from a number of reads or lectures? Either way, that's an impressive comment.

@@dongaetano3687 From many books. But I recommend: *1)* _Wages of Destruction_ The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy. by Prof Adam Tooze. Great about the European war in general. *2)* _Britain's War Machine_ by David Edgerton. Specifically about Britain's part.

I thought Trump was doing that.

Perhaps you might begin with some lessons in orthography....Lord have mercy.

90% of German armor in the west was destroyed by the British. The British faced the highest concentration of German armor in all of WW2. That was primarily destroyed by the time Patton was involved. He was involed just after Operation Cobra started at the end of Normandy.

Nope even though Monty lulled them to sleep enough.Allied Air Power,like Monty was too ignorant to capitalize on.He waited 6hrs after a massive bombing

Wrong! It was the timing. It was planned not by chance.

@@jacktattis my father served in Europe as a engineer a sapper. Patton covered more ground than another general in the west . He did not like the Russians and if he had his way we may not of had a cold war.. I say the Germans against the Russians was two evils fighting each other. As for the Pacific front the Japanese were probably the hardest to fight because they didn't believe in surrender. I have been to many places in the Pacific front to see where they stood against the Japanese. I wanted to go to Vietnam but never did . Many of my relatives did .
