Patton's Last Battle
Angebote / Angebote:
Despite Patton's victory at Bastogne and his tremendous drive through Southern Germany, Eisenhower, would cruelly relieve him of his post as Governor of Bavaria, take away his beloved Third Army and finally relegate him to the command of the 15th US Army, which existed on paper only.In this fast moving account, Charles Whiting takes us through the dramatic battles of that last year of the war and the new peace. Patton racing from the German frontier to the Rhine in a mere fifty hours - his bitter rivalry to cross the great river before Montgomery - the disastrous raid on Hammelburg POW camp, which finally turned Eisenhower against the 3rd Army Commander, final victory in Czechoslovakia and Patton's urgent desire to continue fighting.This is the record of Patton's last year until he died, not, ironically, on the battlefield, but peacefully in bed.
