I suppose the question we must ask is: Would it surprise you if it was true? Patton was an American icon, a war hero and a loose cannon whose only reason for living was to be in combat. He detested the Russians and would not have had any reservations at moving against them. With his accident, there may have been an opportunity to take him out of the equation that was too tempting for some to resist.
I remember watching a documentary about his death in that aforementioned accident. So if it was an assassination, the truck driver would have been told he had done his duty for America then?
A Conspiracy Theory???? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...sm-of-allied-war-leaders-claims-new-book.html
I have heard about thjis before , I do believe this. He hated the russians. He wantede to attack them right aftyer the war ended. On the rating scale I rate this thread as 5 excelent. only because someone finally realized that patton could have been killed on purpose.
RIP George Patton On December 21, 1945 America's iconic four-star General, who had triumphed from the deserts of North Africa to Hitler's doorstep, was pronounced dead at the 130th Field Hospital in Heidelberg, Germany. He was 60-years-old. There's a program on tomorrow .... FOXNews.com - Conspiracy Theories: The Mysterious Death of General Patton - Oliver North | War Stories !

Moral Dilemma?? Just supposing the theories are right, and Patton was assassinated by his own side to avoid causing a war with the Russians: Was it the right thing to do? In once sense it was a terrible thing to do; he was a patriot and a hero. But supposing we had gone to war with the Soviet Union in 1946? If we had won, it might have saved us the Cold War. But the cost in lives would have been horrendous. It would have been by no means certain that we would have won - we may well have needed to use the atom bomb to make sure. And would the US have had the support of Britain - with a new Labour government and an establishment riddled with communists? So as for Patton: "It is good that one man should die for the sake of the people"?? (As a Jewish High Priest said before condemning another Jew to death 1900 years previously).
