General George S. Patton led his troops primarily in the European Theater during World War II, notably in the Mediterranean and Western Europe. He commanded the U.S. Third Army during the liberation of France, including the rapid advance across France following the D-Day invasion. Patton is also known for his leadership during the Battle of the Bulge and the push into Germany, ultimately reaching the borders of Czechoslovakia. His aggressive tactics and rapid maneuvers were key to the Allied success in the region.
General Patton was considered the fastest general because he moved his troops faster than any other commander(s) against enemy forces across North Africa and France/Europe during WWII.
