Patton proved himself so well against the Germans that he told FDR that he would end the Nazi regime of Germany within a year of the war. Patton took the state of Bavaria, which was where the Nazi’s was founded. To insult the Germans, but the battle was a stalemate. Eventually, Germany took back Bavaria, which slowed down production for the Germans. Patton becomes the military governor of Bavaria for a short time. Patton told the press that Panthers and Tigers, which was germans toughest tanks, were unmatched but lost and fled, and were under FDR orders.

Patton wouldn’t forget this moment, what the Germans did to his retribution. Several people were shocked and afraid by the war. Patton was in the medic bay in the United Kingdom. Patton slapped the soldier for being cowardly. Which was witnessed by the British press. Saying Patton slapped an unarmed man. FDR thinks Patton is kinda like MacArthur, where he is just so upset by the loss in Germany. MacArthur lost the Philippines to Imperial Japan. FDR put him in reserves same as Patton in Europe.

Patton's emphasis on rapid and aggressive offensive action proved effective, and he was regarded highly by his opponents in the German High Command

The Patton family was of Scottish, Irish, Scots-Irish, French, English, and Welsh ancestry.

Patton created a unique blade after fencing in the Olympics called the Model 1913 Cavalry Saber (Patton Saber)

Patton Dodge WC-57 Command Car was one of the few customized cars during Patton's time. It was armoured to commemorate Patton's time in building and leading an army of Armoured vehicles in WWI and WWII

Patton was an ideal person who took every invention from people and used in the battlefield.

Patton's Ghost Army in Pas de Calais. Hitler Thought Patton might be the guy who would lead the main Allied force. Cause this force was basically most of the British army. If he defeated this main force, he would be victorious, which would give time for Heisenberg to build the atomic bomb to end all wars. This Allied gamble was successful. Eisenhower led the D-Day Normandy invasion in 1944, France. The Ghost Army was built by French and American filmmakers to built these inflame fake army. The germans was so furious which wasted a year of preparation.

While Patton was running away in his armoured car, he was crushed
By a truck and was rescued in the hospital on December 9th, 1945, and died on December 21st, 1945.
People in the deepstates thinks that Patton knew he would lead a foney war in Pas de Calais because Patton's dog was called Willie, also known as William the Conqueror. Patton dog was named after William The Conqueor, who was raised in Normandy, but it was William who invaded and conquered England, which changed the English language.
