Patton on ‘holding a position’...
“We are advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy.
We’re going to hold onto him by the nose and we’re going to kick him in the ass.
We’re going to kick the hell out of him all the time
and we’re going to go through him like crap through a goose.”
Those quotes are from Hollywood.
Read Ike's autobiography to get an idea of the ass-kicking the Allies took in the beginning from Rommel.
