There was a pro-Soviet POS in the congress who undermined Patton and of course the US in general. He should have been slapped, then shot.

Acording to my dad, Patton’s greatness was largely a media invention.

There was a slapping/punching incident
in Tunisia. Lloyd Fredendale had the good sense to get all the principal’s in his office. Patton apologized and shook hands
The corporal observed in battle stress does things. Fredendale said this ends here. He could have sacked Patton. He didn’t and Patton never hat an I’ll word about man who became a byword for command failure.
