Marion:-
There was a strong anecdote about Patton and Montgomery who really did
not like each other. Wish I could say this is Gospel but I feel it has much merit.
Patton is supposed to have called Monty a Limey, Son of a B***H and when Ike
heard about he ordered Patton to formally apologize.
Scenario:- A SHAEF meeting with lots of brass and Patton walks in and Salutes,
Presents his Compliments and tells Monty that he is sorry that he called his a LIMEY.
Then executes an about face and leaves the room with the SOB part hanging in air.
Ike was said to almost have had apoplexy!!
