George 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.

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

Patton obviously had no problem with taking action. He would probably have opted to use military force to stop Hitler from his earliest conquests in Czechslovakia, Poland, etc. instead of just sitting there and hoping that each small country that fell would appease him.

As a kid, George Patton loved riding horses and pretending he was riding into battle.

The exact spot is not known. Military reports regarding the accident mentioned "Mannheimer Strasse" and "Neustatter Strasse" in or near the city of Mannheim, Germany. According to Wikipedia, the accident occured near railroad tracks. Google Earth shows that both streets still exist to this day. Coördinates: 49°30'13.43" N 8°30'12.37" O for the T-shaped intersection and 49°30'20.17" N 8°30'05.13" O for a single railroad track crossing Neustatter Strasse at a sharp angle. The exact location of the accident is most likely somewhere near here. Bear in mind that after almost 70 years the surroundings have changed dramatically.

He probably would have been retired from the army, and not been in the Korean War. Patton graduated from West Point in 1909, and would have been in his early 60s. MacArthur was even older, but was a unique case.

Yes, General George Patton was a prominent general in the Allied forces during World War II. He played a key role in several significant campaigns, including the North Africa campaign, the invasion of Italy, and the liberation of Western Europe. Known for his aggressive tactics and leadership style, Patton was instrumental in the success of Allied operations against Axis powers. His contributions helped shape the outcome of the war in Europe.

Quite possibly. During the Vietnam War, there was an engineering unit digging deep trenches with their earth moving equipment, with destroyed M48 Patton tanks lying next to the trenches. Upon questioning, the engineer's stated they were burying the tanks.

Patton carried a Colt Single Action Army on his right hip, and a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum on his left hip.Both pistols had ivory grips. He was also known to carry a Colt .380 in a shoulder holster.(Remember the scene in "Patton", where he climbs down from the second floor during an air raid, and starts shooting at the German airplanes?)
