General George S Patton.

 

General Patton

General George Smith Patton was one of the richest military men in the U.S. army. The Patton family owned what is now downtown Los Angeles. He grew up a spoiled pampered child in privileged circumstances in St Gabriel, California, and enjoyed a life of luxury.

When he became a cadet at West Point, his aunt and mother moved with him for the five years that he was a cadet at the military academy in case he needed their help. Patton also married a wealthy woman, Beatrice Banning Ayer, the daughter of a Boston industrialist. It's thought that Patton may have had learning difficulties in his childhood and struggled to read and write. It's now called dyslexia. When he learned to read, he became an avid reader and poured over books on military history.

Patton proposed invading the Soviet Union at the end of World War II, to drive the Russians out of eastern Europe. He was also highly critical of the Allies denazification program after V.E. Day believing that Europe was going to go Communist. Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery famously said that the first rule of war is "don't march on Moscow." He knew that history showed that those who have tried to invade Russia like Hitler and Napoleon, along with others, generally come to grief.

George S Patton didn't get to lead an army into invading Russia because he was seriously injured in an automobile accident in December 1945 which left him with a broken neck that rendered him paralyzed from the neck down. He died in hospital twelve days later. No one in Patton's vehicle was hurt accept Patton.

Since Patton's death , the conspiracy mongers have tried to deny that this was simply an unfortunate accident and maintain that General Patton, died in suspicious circumstances. They cannot accept that an illustrious American general who survived two world wars, died after sustaining injuries in a car wreck.
