You can't blame Patton for wanting to kick some "Rooskie" butt, but of course it was an absolutely absurd idea. The losses and the continuation of the war would have devastated us and Lord only knows what the consequences would have been.
I'm still a Patton gal and loved a lot of what he did, but I also know he pulled a few blunders.
I am currently reading Gen Omar Bradley's biography, A Soldier's Story and he covers old George pretty thoroughly. Bradley's book was one of three major sources used for the movie Patton, featuring the superb acting of George C Scott.
If you haven't read Bradley's book, I strongly suggest you pick up a copy. It's a great read and gives you a fantastic behind-the-scenes feel for North Africa, Sicily, Normandy and beyond.
