re: Give me your George S. Patton Reads...

Not a book but I was talking to this old gentleman on Veterans Day & he said that in the last year of the war, he was Patton's backup jeep driver. He said that the official Army report on Patton's death was "100% fabrication". Where the accident supposedly occurred was in the middle of nowhere & the other vehicle supposedly responsible for the fatal accident disappeared by the next morning. To never be found. The official MP accident report was removed from the accident folder, never to be seen again either. But "there was no reason for another vehicle to be in that area at that time, it was in the middle of nowhere". The driver of Patton's jeep that nite was shipped back home the next day & he himself was removed from his driving duties the next day as well. He said that Patton's wife's request to have her husband buried in Arlington National Cemetary was denied & he was buried in a regular military cemetary in France.

I was intrigued by the O’Reilly book discussion of the accident which suggested he may have been assassinated. I’d never heard of that prior to that book. Cool to connect with that guy in person.
My only connection is that my Dad got George C. Scott’s autograph for me in Hattiesburg Mississippi while he was there filing a movie. I still have it somewhere.

Patton is buried in Belgium. I believe it was his conviction that a soldier should be buried where he fell.

You're both wrong. Patton was buried in Luxembourg.
