Was George Patton the us commander of the 3RD and 1ST armies that invaded north Africa Sicily and great Britain?
You have to realize that General Patton rose up through the ranks during the first year of the war. Your question is very broad and covers almost a year. So you have to look at a specific time and battle.
Patton commanded the Western Task Force, 24,000 men in 100 ships, in landings centered around Casablanca, Morocco, on 8 November 1942. After the defeat at the Battle of the Kasserine Pass, Patton replaced Major General Lloyd Fredendall as commander of the II Corps and was promoted to lieutenant general.
For Operation Husky, the beginning of the invasion of Sicily, Patton was to command I Armored Corps, dubbed the Western Task Force. However, After landing, Patton's command was expanded and formed into the Seventh Army.
He did not command British troops in North Africa or Sicily. After the fall of Sicily, Patton was sent back to England as a punishment for slapping a soldier in the hospital. He later commanded the Third Army in the breakout of Normandy and it became operational on 1 August 1944 .
