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.

Is this the title of a new O'Reilly book? Seems like he's always "killing" someone.....

Betty: yes it really is. One wonders who will be "killed" next.

We know Patton had Confederate ancestors. Does anyone know if he had any Union ancestors?

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!

Really? Is that true?

Yes it is.
It was when Mosby was in California.
The Patton family was wealthy and they owned a ranch/farm near Mosby

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.

Patton had good Southern roots!
