Hearsay, but the objection is without merit as this is not a law case. Historians have a special favor for contemporaneous government documents and witnesses to events and devote considerable effort to tracing them down. There are vast swaths of WW II documents that are still held back from the public.

I want to make sure that I understand your position. You and everyone else out there do not have any evidence, but the lack of evidence is proof that there was a conspiracy and that Patton was murdered. All of this is true because the government is hiding the real evidence and we will never be able to find it.

Right.

Having been involved with the declassification review of the Army’s WW2 records during the mid-1990’s after President Clinton’s declassification order, everything that was declassifed by General Eisenhower’s declassification order in 1947 was reviewed and declared unclassified.

The problem isn’t the declassification of records or records being “hidden or withheld” it is just that there are so many of them, that folks have not reviewed them at the National Archives building in College Park, MD. And having done research in that archive, the finding aids are not that detailed.

We are talking about tens of thousands of linear feet of paper records to go through. All one has to do is go to the National Archives, get a researcher’s card, go to the reading room and using the indexes they have, request the file boxes you want to review. See https://www.archives.gov/research
