Patton has been selected as one of the "Top Ten Famous Generals of World War II" by many organizations, and we have to evaluate a person dialectically and objectively. On the plus side, Patton was an excellent general, with a resolute and courageous character and an unrivaled domineering spirit. His tactics proved to be excellent in the war, especially in the "Sicilian Landing", when he frantically pushed his troops forward and captured Palermo before Montgomery, and he also played a lot of credit in the attack on the Germans.
At the same time, he also made a great contribution to the establishment of the American tank force, and he was undoubtedly a heroic general.
On the negative side, Patton's temper was so short-tempered that he was always unable to control his emotions, and his dissatisfaction with the arrangements of his superiors, his tactical disagreements with his comrades, and his unbridled mouth, made him doomed to be responsible for his actions. He even slapped the soldier with his own hands, which led to the "slap" incident that was later noisy.
Patton's biggest regret in his life was that he was unable to attack Japan, and he asked his superiors for help, if he was allowed to attack Japan, even if he was willing to be a division commander, he was willing, but his wish was not fulfilled in the end. Shortly after the end of World War II, he died in a car accident while preparing to go hunting, leaving him with the aura of a four-star general and the outstanding exploits he had established during World War II.

There were two Donbass battles in World War II, namely the German attack on Donbass in 1941 and the Soviet attack on Donbass in 1943.
-
The Battle of Donbass was an offensive campaign carried out by the Soviet Army in 1943 in the Soviet-German War in order to smash the German Donbass group and liberate the industrial area of Donbass in the course of the Dnieper River Meeting.
Now the United States is the world hegemon, and everyone was not an opponent before, but now with the development of China, and then the United Russia has the momentum to catch up with and surpass the United States, so if there is a truce, Russia can put more energy into national development, which the United States does not want to see, so of course he does not want them to stop the war. Wake up the liquid.
Consequences of the campaign:Donbass-Rostov defensive campaign September 29 - November 16, 1941.
Participating troops: USSR: 6th, 9th, 12th, 18th armies, 10,000 people.
Germany: 1st Army, 1st Panzer Army, 3rd Romanian Army.
According to the history of the Soviet army, 200,000 enemies were destroyed, 700 enemy tanks and 370 artillery pieces were destroyed.
The Soviet army lost 143313 men, 17,263 wounded, 101 tanks, 3,646 artillery pieces, and 246 aircraft.
-
The time for the attack was postponed again and again, and it was finally decided to start at 1 a.m. on the 12th. Before entering the battle, Patton was ready to die. According to his own ideas, Patton believed that the commander's presence on the front line could boost the morale and fighting spirit of the officers and men, and that he could always pick up the bridge and organize the battle according to the changing situation.
Patton and his party braved the artillery fire and rushed forward. Cross the first town on the march, St. Bissan, and head towards Ethiopia.
The boss was still very satisfied with Patton's victory, but he didn't want him to risk causing trouble, and after listening to his explanation, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and he didn't talk about it anymore. The next day, the Battle of Saint-Miel was practically over. The U.S. captured 150,000 enemy troops and 450 artillery pieces.
General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the US Expeditionary Force, greatly praised the tank corps' heroic fighting spirit in this battle.

No one has ever defeated General Patton, judging from General Patton's war history, in World War II, when the American army entered the war, the decadence of the German army was irreversible, and the occasional short-lived counterattack was not commanded by Patton.
On March 6, 1943, the U.S. 2nd Army was defeated by the Afrika Army at the Battle of Kasseling Pass, with Major General Lloyd Freddendall as commander and Patton stationed in Casablanca. When Patton came to the rescue, the Germans began to retreat due to lack of supplies.
The Battle of the Ardennes in 1944 was the defeat of Middleton's 8th Army, and when Patton came to the rescue, the Germans began to retreat because they lost air supremacy.
Twice it can be said that it is a failure.
In April, he had an argument with Major General Arthur Coningham of the British Royal Air Force over the lack of air support from his own units. When three officers sent by Cunningham persuaded him at Patton's headquarters that Britain had provided adequate air support, they were subjected to German air raids, and part of the ceiling of Patton's office collapsed around them. Later, referring to the German pilots who launched the air raids, Patton said:
If I could find the *** who flew these planes, I'd send each of them a medal. ”
2. During Operation Overlord, Patton wanted to command the landing force, but in order to deceive the German army, Patton was assigned to carry out the "Mercury Plan", which fabricated the false impression that the Allies had assembled about 40 divisions of the First Army Group in southeast England. Patton came to serve as commander of the First Army Group.
-
No one beat him, he died in a crash, and there was a truce at the time.
-
The Germans were thwarted by Patton every time they counterattacked, and they were almost surrounded by Patton at Falais, and the Leopard Brigade that counterattacked in the Rhineland was defeated, and the German army in the Ardennes chose the jurisdiction of the First Army to attack, but Patton's Third Army only took a few days to launch a counterattack, and the Fourth Panzer Division under his command was the first to rush into Bastony to relieve the siege, and then drove the Germans all the way back to their original positions, and finally the Ruhr Battle completely annihilated the German Army Group B, forcing Modell to commit suicide, and Patton did not lose the battle.

George Patton's title in the United States is very similar to that of Zhao Zilong, and he is also a winning general, and he has not lost in his life. George Patton's philosophy was to move quickly to avoid greater losses and **.
The command unit had generals, inquisitors, and commissars. Infantry units include privates, heavy groups, katachans, stormtroopers, and apes. Carries the Chimera, the Wolves, the Sentinels, the Manticore, the Riemanrus, and the Emperor's Poison Blade.
Because the Soviet Union is a tough nut to crack for Germany, and the Soviet Union's military strength is relatively strong, so if you want to destroy the Soviet Union first, it will be easy later.
Yes, the tanks of World War II were very tall, because the technology was not very developed at that time, so it was more difficult to manufacture, and the tanks now are much lower than they were then, but they are more powerful.
Terrified.
High tension. On the pavement. >>>More
Yugoslavia had two armed groups, the Chetnik army of the royalists and the Yugoslav partisans. In the early stage, the two teams fought together against the Nazi army, but Chetnik, like the Kuomintang, exaggerated his own merits, slandered the Yugoslav Communist Party, and monopolized British aid to the Yugorussian resistance. As the Italian fascist forces were secretly opposing the Ustahi regime in their southern controlled areas, Chetnik cooperated with fascist Italy against the Ustahi in 1942. >>>More
