That is not true.
When the German Ardennes offensive surrounded US forces at Bastogne and pushed back US forces elsewhere, Patton withdrew his army from contact with German forces elsewhere, march north to reinforce US positions and participated in the defeat and ultimate failure of the German Ardennes offensive (Battle of the Bulge)
Casualties were heavy for the Americans, as they took the brunt of the fighting. 19000 men died, and over 80,000 wounded. Patton took Third Army in a drive north and relieved the 101st Airborne at Bastogne. But the Allies won the battle.
As a kid, George Patton loved riding horses and pretending he was riding into battle.
Both George S Patton's units suffered casualties, generally no more than any other outfits. The US Marines suffered heavy casualties per unit at Iwo Jima in '45, General Buckner's 10th Army suffered heavy casualties at Okinawa, Admiral Turner's heavy cruisers suffered terribly at Savo Island in '42. Patton's son George S. Patton commanding the 11th ACR in Vietnam named his numerous gardens after men of his commmand killed in the war.
Patton was , of course , on the side of the Allies .
