George Patton

becky R Patton

George Meeks was Patton's orderly. He received a stripe whenever Patton moved up.

Patton attended Virginia Military Institute for one year, where he rushed VMI's chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order. He then transferred to the United States Military Academy. The Academy compelled him to repeat his first "plebe" year after doing poorly in mathematics. He repeated his plebe year with honors, and was appointed Cadet Adjutant (the second highest position for a cadet) eventually graduating in 1909 and receiving his commission as a cavalry officer.

as a boy george smith Patton worked on his maternal grandfather's farm. he didnt go to school until he was 12 so his spellig suffered but he was an ambiguos reader being he loved to read about his ancestors and past war stories

I can't think of any.

A young Lieutenant Patton was along on the Punitive Expedition under General Pershing in 1916, chasing around trying to catch Pancho Villa in northern Mexico, and they never caught Villa. I'm not sure they really wanted to though, but they probably could not have no matter what.

There was one episode, very late in WWII, the "Hamelburg Affair". Patton's son-in-law, Colonel Waters, was a German Prisoner of War, held in a POW camp at Hamelburg in Germany. Without authorization from Bradley or Eisenhower, when his forces reached within about thirty miles of this town, Patton gathered a small Task Force of a few hundred men, and sent them off, deep behind enemy lines to try to liberate the prisoners in this camp. The Task Force reached the camp and very briefly got some of the prisoners out, but were soon overwhelmed by reacting Germans forces, and all survivors of the "rescuers" became prisoners themselves, and almost all the recently freed prisoners were retaken. Patton was very worried over public reaction when this was related in the news, but Franklin Roosevelt died at that time, and that dominated the news.

Some of Patton's campaigns, such as Metz, took a little longer than he had anticipated, but there, as everywhere, he eventually reached his objectives.

I assume you are asking about General George S. Patton, Jr. He probably was not a Freemason since the there is no evidence (published records, Lodge name, etc.) that indicate he was.

The records of the Grand Lodge of New York do list a George S. Patton (not Jr.) as Worshipful Master of Cambridge Lodge 662 on June 20, 1904, but that is not the same man. At that time, George S. Patton, Jr. (later to be General Patton) was 19 years old (too young to be a Mason in NY in 1904). He had just completed his education at the Virginia Military Academy and was starting at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. In short, it can not possibly be the same person.

George Patton was severely injuried in a motor accident on 9 December 1945 in Germany and died on 21 December 1945. There are, of course, all kinds of conspiracy theories, too ...

the driver was left uninquired

I have read that the accident was on a mountain road in Spain, not Germany. If true, that is a pretty serious error of fact.

I also suggest some information be added about how Patton was doing in the hospital and how he suddenly took a turn for the worse in a way that had nothing to do with the injuries he suffered. That is what I have read. I don't have complete information, but the lack of information leaves a lot to conjecture.

Battle of the Bulge/relief of bastogne

George Smith Patton, Jr. was a full General at the conclusion of WWII. He came to the north shores of Africa (Morrocco) as a Major General in operation torch in 1943. He was promoted shortly thereafter to a Leiutenant General. At the end he was promoted to full general.

General Patton's original driver in WWII was Warren George Schumacher of Richland Center, WI. Schumacher was subsequently replaced, and was not the driver involved in the General's fatal vehicle accident.

The Battle of the Bulge, Best friends with Eisenhower. one of the greater military minds of world war 2. anything more specific isn't coming from me

George C. Scott played the role of George S. Patton in the movie Patton

Yes

George Patton was known for his forthright and blunt communication style, often speaking his mind without concern for political correctness. His honesty could be seen as both a strength and a weakness; it earned him respect among his troops but also led to controversies, including conflicts with superiors. While he was honest about his views and strategies, his candidness sometimes resulted in strained relationships and disciplinary actions. Overall, Patton's honesty was a defining characteristic of his leadership style.

BEATRICE AYER (Jan 12 1886- Sept 30, 1953).

Married George S. Patton Junior on May 26, 1910 remained married till the General's death on December 21, 1945.

George Patton IV died on June 27, 2004 at the age of 80.

upsetting

His own troops called him "Old Blood and Guts", but cheered him lustily when he passed by. It was a symbol of pride for any soldier to say after the war, "I fought with Patton!"

I believe it was because they were communist. Not to mention he was ordered to let them into Berlin first.

when he died he was 60 years old
