That said, I don't know if there was any mention of FUSAG in the press, although within the last week I remember seeing a story where mention was made of Bradley wearing a First Army patch.
In a few months we'll have the firestorm over Patton's Knutsford speech. Some think Patton was set up when he was told there was no press present and that the British intelligence people leaked details of the speech so the Germans would know Patton was traveling around England doing something. I have fairly high skepticism about that, however, because Ike had told Patton to keep a low profile and not make any speeches.
Thank you. I can remember “First United States Army Group,” I think, although if you happen to notice anything you could mention it.
With the Italian campaign underway, I looked up Audie Murphy to see when his exploit occurred: it’s months away still. I saw his uniform at a museum in San Antonio. He was so tiny! About my height, 5’4”, but an incredibly slight build.
