The men in the 3rd Division changed the wording slightly. Patton?? Right.

There are some very interesting magazine articles (it's a huge collection) on a site that is featured on my Links Page. This is a PDF file that has everything from how the movie Patton was filmed, to Patton's admitted mistake in the rescue of the American POWS from Aschaffenbourg. Yes this is the famous incident that involves Patton's son-in-law. This incident is discussed several times within the text and can be found on pages, 13, 81 & 82, 103 & 107.

 

So if anyone wants to do any heavy-duty reading, this is a great place to start. Remember that as with any ADOBE PDF, you can perform searches within the text to find anything you want. A really nice feature especially when dealing with large documents such as this one.
