Patton Pissing in Rhine

[Walt's Daughter]

Dear David:

 

Just got your message. How intriguing!

 

There are many stories and quite a history behind that photo. The one I have on my site was given to me by one of the guys in my dad's unit, the 540th Combat Engineers, who built the ponton bridge across the Rhine. I have no idea where the original could be, but suggest you contact this person who runs the Patton Society website. Here's the addy:

I will also post your email on my forum. Maybe someone can answer some questions too.

 

Thanks for writing. I hope you'll join our forum and keep in touch. If you find any info too, please post it there. We'd love to hear from you.

 

Warm regards,

Marion

 

PS I am attaching a copy of the photo for you.
