Sixty-seven years ago, on a cold December 9th in 1945 Germany, legendary American general George S. Patton was injured in a strange auto "accident" on a road outside Mannheim, near the Rhine River. The opinionated anticommunist died twelve days later. Today, the evidence that he was murdered -- the first in a line of postwar political assassinations including that of President John F. Kennedy -- is mounting.
In 2008 my book about Patton's mysterious death, Target: Patton, was published by Regnery with the core evidence, including:
* Patton was the only passenger hurt that cold day in what essentially was described as a "fender-bender." Two others in the car with him were uninjured, as were those in the truck that suddenly turned and caused the crash.
* The truck and its occupants were suspiciously waiting for the Patton car on the side of the road, according to a witness. It didn't start up until Patton's Cadillac was sighted. The truck's driver, a soldier and black marketeer who had stolen the army vehicle, did not signal when he suddenly wheeled the two-and-a-half-ton hauler into Patton's path. The truck's driver and his passengers mysteriously disappeared -- as did the sergeant in a jeep who was leading the Patton Cadillac.
* Numerous shadowy figures, including a general and other officers, quickly descended on the remote crash site, taking charge. It was a quiet Sunday morning.

Interesting story, no evidence.
You are right. They brought the experts in from the states, not the other way around. Thanks for the correction.
“Patton led the army against the Bonus Army, a large group of unarmed people just wanting the government to pay them their bonus.”
Hoover ordered Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur to clear the veterans out with the use of the infantry and tanks. I don’t think Patton was involved unless he rode one of the tanks. He certainly did not lead the effort.
Talk about revisionist history, I watched Oliver Stone’s Showtime recreation of virtually every aspect of US History. The Communist agent and former VP Henry Wallace was re-patriated and deloused as a great progressive who was badly treated by FDR and Harry Truman. Watch the lies our children will learn as gospel truth
No doubt you went to public school.
Thanks for the info about the surgeon’s report of Patton’s death.
I suggest everyone who thinks the Army will be on “our “ side in any unConstitutional crackdown on traditional American freedom look to history. The Army does what it is told.
Also wasn’t MacArthur in on the Bonus Army suppression?
A young Guardsman in the mid 90s told me they were being trained to use bayonets on peaceful protestors who refused to move or otherwise comply with orders!
The government is many things but not your friend.
Still Patton was a genuine Character who demanded the best of his men .Patton ,like all the between war officers of his time, played politics to stay in the Army and in line for promotion.
“Rumor was that Patton wanted to rearm the Wehrmacht (weed out the Nazis) & hurl it eastward.” There wasn’t a whole lot left of the German Army by 1945. Old men & boys. Many of the boys were Hitler Youth, total fanatics. De-Nazification of the fighting force that remained wouldn’t have left much.
I can see the Soviets assassinating Patton, but to think that any high level American officials were behind the assassination of Patton is to just traffic in conspiracy theories. This is as bad as believing that the CIA or LBJ were responsible for JFK’s assassination.
FDR wasn’t perfect, but FDR-derangement syndrome is almost as bad as Bush-derangement syndrome. Stalin, unfortunately, was our ally in World War II. We probably wouldn’t have won the war without the Soviet Union. If Hitler hadn’t decided to invade the Soviet Union, then we might have had to fight both Germany and the Soviet Union. We probably wouldn’t have won in that case. I wish that the Soviet Union hadn’t come to dominate Eastern Europe, but what choice did the U.S. and Britain really have? Relations between the Anglo-Saxon powers and the Soviet Union may have fallen apart then, and the war wasn’t even over yet. FDR and Churchill had hoped that Stalin would keep his promise out of fear of retaliation and let Soviet-occupied Eastern European countries have free and fair democratic elections. But after World War II was over, the U.S. and Britain were too war-weary to fight another war against the Soviet Union, contrary to what Patton might have wanted. The U.S. and Britain very well could have landed in Europe through Greece, as Churchill had wanted to counter Soviet ambitions, but that wouldn’t have created a second major front against Germany. Yes, I know that some of FDR’s advisers were Communist sympathizers, but I still think that this mattered little if any in the Soviet domination of Eastern Europe.
Thirteen years in NYC public schools, and yet I still found my way on to here. Not bad, huh?
Oh, yeah. And then there’s the ongoing blacklisting of Joe McCarthy and the apologists for the Rosenbergs, Alger Hiss, etc.. My daughter just came home from school the other day and told me that Ethel Rosenberg had been wrongly convicted. She said her teacher told her so. I asked her if her teacher had ever read the Venona decrypts that proved Ethel was a courier for Julius. She said she’d never heard of them. It said it figured.
Wow, interesting. I always heard (from my grandparents and others) that Patton was the only one who wanted to go against the Bolsheviks/Communists, so had to be eliminated. And of course, in a way that would obfuscate the real motive/who did it.
So easy for those to say whose Christian countries weren’t directly handed over for 50+ years of torture, displacement, and murder. Leftists were all too eager to create their beloved one-world United Nations and were willing to trade tens of millions of lives for that.
“FDR-derangement syndrome,” .... And some have FDR-brainwashed syndrome which is very much like Communist-apologist syndrome.
And signed up on FR the same day only to post a Communist apologist post and nothing else.
To which you replied "No, that was MacArthur. C'mon folks."
Well, c'mon yourself. Yes, Mac WAS in overall command, but Patton DID command an armor unit, and DID order cavalry to charge into the marchers.
If you wish to absolve Patton because he was under Mac, then you also gotta absolve Mac, as he was under Hoover.
I have a good friend who is now 94 years old. He was captured in France in 1944 and spent a year in a POW camp.
He told me years ago about Russian deuce and a halfs coming into the prison yard, loading up with his buddies, and taking them off never to be seen again. A few years later DOD records were declassified and this is exactly what happened. No doubt in my mind that Patton was killed by the US government. He despised Russians and was going to blow the lid off the shenanigans going on with FDR, Stalin and probably Eisenhower. FDR also gave German POWs that were in camps in the states back to the RUSSIANS! Well we know what happened to them. FDR kissed Stalin’s ass big time and that is historical fact.
