The Generals: Patton, MacArthur, Marshall, and the Winning of World War II From best-selling author Winston Groom
”We fought the wrong enemy”
George Smith Patton Jr. was a general in the United States Army who commanded the Seventh Army in the Mediterranean Theatre of World War II, and the Third Army in France and Germany after the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944.
Born: 11 November 1885, San Gabriel, California, United States
Died: 21 December 1945 (age 60 years), Heidelberg, Germany
Belief in Reincarnation: Patton believed he was a reincarnation of several historical military leaders. He often mentioned that he had fought in ancient battles as a Roman legionnaire, a Napoleonic soldier, and even a Carthaginian warrior. His strong belief in reincarnation influenced his bold decision-making and sense of destiny on the battlefield.
1912 Olympian: Patton competed in the 1912 Stockholm Olympics in the modern pentathlon. This event tested multiple military skills, including shooting, fencing, swimming, horseback riding, and cross-country running. Patton finished fifth overall but controversially missed out on a higher placement due to an issue in the shooting event, where it was believed that one of his bullets passed through an existing hole in the target, not being counted.
Early Tank Advocate: Patton was an early advocate of tank warfare. During World War I, he played a key role in the development of the U.S. Army's Tank Corps. His experience commanding tanks in the later stages of WWI helped shape his strategic ideas, which he would famously use to great effect during WWII.
Sword Designer: Patton designed a cavalry saber, known as the "Patton Saber" (Model 1913 Cavalry Saber), which was adopted by the U.S. Army. His design emphasized thrusting over slashing, reflecting his belief that this was a more effective combat technique.
Fluent in Multiple Languages: Patton was fluent in French and spoke some German. His linguistic skills were part of his lifelong study of military history and strategy, which included reading works in their original languages. His fluency in French allowed him to converse directly with French military leaders during WWII.
