General Patton's Death - Accident or Murder?

A local man who recently died of old age once stopped Patton's car at a checkpoint at gunpoint. The car wasn't marked and he had no idea the General was inside. Patton defended the then young 17 year old private to his superiors saying "I wish I had another hundred boys just like him. He's a damn fine soldier who was doing his job." Patton recommended his promotion to corporal, which he recieved, written recommendation I read for myself from the man's scrapbook.

I find it odd that a drunk soldier joyriding in a military vehicle was not charged for killing one of the most famous generals in US history.

My uncle served under Patton and was wounded at the Battle of the Bulge. He was only given about 5 years to live after his injury. He died in 2008.

"We defeated the wrong enemy." Those words sealed his fate.

The fact that he wished to be buried amongst his men rather than Arlington deserves credit.

They didn't want Patton coming home and getting into politics.

One thing for sure is hes the only person that died from an accident in back seat of a Cadillac at 20 mph.

20 miles an hour, a broken neck, and a huge laceration on his head? Sounds a little fishy to me.

When you drive into a 4 star general killing him, and no futher charges are made. You know whats up.

[1:40] "Patton...was not slow in stating his opinions..." This is British understatement working overtime.

Tell the full story. There was more than one so-called accident. They tried and failed to kill him before.

The military and political establishment wanted him gone. Sadly, this establishment is still present today in the U.S. Patton was a winner in total war no matter the costs.

My great grandfather (on my moms side) was a tank commander for Patton. When Patton got mad at him, he would rip his patches off, then would apologize and give them back. A crazy story is that my grandfather was having a lunch break sitting outside his tank when he noticed that there was an allied plane being attacked by an axis plane. My grandpa told his men to shoot down the enemy plane, and when they did that, the allied plane saw my grandfather and waved. Later my grandfather found out that he was my grandmother’s brother who he saved.

My initial reaction to hearing Gen. Patton speak...”He doesn’t sound anything like George C. Scott.”.

He excelled at War and didn't enjoy everyday life. He was made to be on a Battlefield

Patton began to see what is not allowed to be seen. He was going to be vocal about it too, and given his status as a respected general, people would have listened to him. Once you understand this, its easy to conclude that he was relieved of his vital functions by a certain group who are too powerful to be spoken of openly in any way that is not rooted in praise and support.

" I prefer a German Division in front of me , than a French Division behind me." General Patton

This was a common talking point for my Grandmother. Her husband was a pilot associated with Gen Clark and the European, North African, and Italian campaigns under him fly reconnaissance missions. They both met and were friendly with Patton although I am not aware that he had actually ever served with them directly. I cannot recall who he was flying for (command) for the invasion of Germany proper. She was absolutely convinced that his accident was actually murder and would argue a case for it till just before she died.

We the public will never know. It would not surprise me the least if this man was murdered. After all look at all the suspicious deaths since. Thanks for sharing.
