On September 22, 1945, Gen. George S. Patton tells reporters that he does not see the need for “this denazification thing” and compares the controversy over Nazism to a “Democratic and Republican election fight.”
Descended from a long line of military men, Patton graduated from the West Point Military Academy in 1909 and served in the Tank Corps during World War I. As a result of this experience, Patton became a dedicated proponent of tank warfare. During World War II, as commander of the U.S. 7th Army, he captured Palermo, Sicily, in 1943 by just such means. Patton’s audacity made itself evident in 1944, when, as commander of the 3rd Army, he overran much of northern France in an unorthodox—and ruthless—strategy.
At the Battle of the Bulge, Patton succeeded in employing a complex and quick-witted strategy, turning the German thrust in Bastogne into an Allied counterthrust, driving the Germans east across the Rhine. In March 1945, Patton’s army swept through southern Germany into Czechoslovakia—which he was stopped by the Allies from capturing, out of respect for the Soviets’ postwar political plans for Eastern Europe.
Patton had many gifts, but diplomacy was not one of them. After the war, while stationed in Germany, he criticized the process of denazification, or the removal of former Nazi party members from positions of political, administrative and governmental power, likely out of naïveté. Nevertheless, his impolitic press statements questioning the policy resulted in Eisenhower’s removing him as U.S. commander in Bavaria. He was transferred to the 15th Army Group, but in December 1945 he suffered a broken neck in a car accident and died less than two weeks later at the age of 60.

He died in a car crash, Vince shot himself in the back in a park and Rudolf Hess who was too feeble to shave himself or stand up, got up on a box and hung himself with wire he had no way of obtaining.
Everything you learned is a lie. EVERYTHING!!
One of the greatest lies is the Germ Theory of Disease. It’s the terrain, stupid.

“We defeated the wrong enemy.” – Patton knew what was going on and was going to inform the American people. That’s why they had to kill him.
By the way, don’t bother reading O’Reilly’s “Killing Patton”. It’s probably the worst history book I’ve ever read.
The death of Patton was and is a mystery. I am well aware of the car accident story. Maybe, maybe not. The Soviets wanted him dead, as did traitors in our own government. Many of the World War II American generals were remarkably naïve in a political sense and few of them understood the grave threat posed by the Soviet Union, which they foolishly saw as an ally (Stalin and his generals laughed at the stupid Americans who did not understand the real Communist objectives). Eisenhower was one of the worst in this sense.
It is entirely possible Patton did have an accident but was murdered in the hospital by Soviet agents or even our own OSS, the precursor to the CIA, a group absolutely lice-ridden with Communists thanks to Donovan, its founder. Patton had unwisely threatened to expose the pro-Soviet activities of those around FDR and the bad decisions that had cost so many American lives. Unlike most American officers, Patton was wealthy (reportedly the richest man in the army) and did not need his pension or another job. He had to go.
I believe his brother in law was a successful business man and told him “George you go get the glory and I’ll take care of the money” or words to that effect.
The true story of how Patton was disposed of is here; note that it was the Morgenthau plan.
Panzer.
Very few will read beyond the first paragraph. What a pity.
The Patton Papers is an amazing book. Patton’s family opened their archives for the historian who wrote it. The letters he sent to his wife while he was in charge of the occupation in Bavaria are very telling of the overwhelming pressure coming from the Jewish interests that wanted absolute destruction of Germany.
In September 1945 there were only 3 Nazis in Germany.
