Odd that the two most sourceless and vehemently ignorant posters (one of whom admits to being unwilling to read links and long posts of information provided by others) would ask for such from others.
It's not a matter of assertions. It's all publicly available knowledge. Patton won a few major victories, mainly through ordering his troops to charge ahead blindly, ignoring the fact that his single tactic left them without supplies. In the process of charging ahead, spurred on by Patton's "balls will win the day" crap speeches, LOTS of people died. And no, I do not have exact figures for the number of troops he killed with his idiotic rampages. I'll be sure to let you know if I find such. Hero-worship of this man is much like the worship of the myth of Davy Crocket; based purely on PR, nothing to do with reality, and those who love him would prefer to grip their illusions.

Could you stop the personal attacks already.
Your view of Patton is your own business. If youre frustrated by people that worship him, don't take it out on me. It borders a lack of insight even Patton cannot be accused of

Well, that did it. I won't be reading this either.
