I forgot where but I read once that Patton was the only general on the allied (northwestern front) side that the Germans feared. He was unpredictable and he understood Blitzkrieg and applied it to them in reverse. Everyone else from Ike to Monty was readable like a book.
Then there was the story of when the Patton's had John S Mosby as a neighbor.
Little Georgie loved hearing Mosby tell him tales about how he fought the Yankees!
I just read in Wikipedia (forgive me for that) where Mosby engaged in play with young Patton. It's says that Mosby played himself and Patton played as General Lee.
