This obituary does a nice job reporting on the action-packed life of General George S. Patton (1885 – 1945). Emphasis was placed on Patton’s proudest moment: his command of the U.S. Third Army during the final months leading up to VE-Day.
“All told, Patton’s Third Army had raced through six countries, crossed six major rivers into enemy territory, captured 750,000 Germans and killed and wounded another 500,000. ‘Julius Caesar,’ Patton said, ‘wouldn’t have been but a one-star general in the Third Army.'”
