General Hodges was honored to be appointed to command the US Third Army in Europe. His handicap was that General Kruger took most of the best officers of the Third Army to join him in the new Sixth Army.
Dwight David Eisenhower.
Both US President Roosevelt and Allied Theater commander, General Eisenhower believed the General Hodges needed to be replaced as the commander of the US Third Army in 1944. They agreed that General George S. Patton should take command of the Third Army.
Gen. George Patton
Lieutenant General Walter Krueger was born in Germany and was appointed as the first commander of the US Third Army. His parents brought him to the US in the late 19th century. He joined the US Army and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 1901. Kruger first saw combat action in WW 1.
In September of 1941, General Krueger, commander of the US Third Army had a new chief of staff. He was the newly promoted Brigadier General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Eisenhower's rise within the army ranks was seen as almost a miracle. Later, of course he became the 34th US president in 1953.
