The
'Unedited' Speech From The Movie
Somewhere
in England
June
5th, 1944
The big camp buzzed with a tension. For
hundreds of eager rookies, newly arrived from the states,
it was a great day in their lives. This day marked their first taste of the
"real thing". Now they were not merely puppets
in brown uniforms. They were not going through the
motions of soldiering with three thousand miles of ocean
between them and English soil. They were actually in the
heart of England itself. They were waiting for the
arrival of that legendary figure, Lieutenant General
George S. Patton, Jr. Old "Blood and Guts"
himself, about whom many a colorful chapter would be
written for the school boys of tomorrow. Patton of the
brisk, purposeful stride. Patton of the harsh, compelling
voice, the lurid vocabulary, the grim and indomitable
spirit that carried him and his Army to glory in Africa
and Sicily. They called him "America's Fightingest
General". He was no desk commando. He was the man
who was sent for when the going got rough and a fighter
was needed. He was the most hated and feared American of
all on the part of the German Army.
Patton was coming
and the stage was being set. He would address a move
which might have a far reaching effect on the global war
that, at the moment, was a TOP-SECRET in the files in
Washington, D.C.
By now the rumor
had gotten around that Lieutenant General Simpson,
Commanding General of the Fourth Army, was to be with
General Patton. The men stirred expectantly. Two of the
big boys in one day!
"We are
here", said General Simpson, "to listen to the
words of a great man. A man who will lead you all into
whatever you may face with heroism, ability, and
foresight. A man who has proven himself amid shot and
shell. My greatest hope is that some day soon, I will
have my own Army fighting with his, side by side."
General Patton arose and strode
swiftly to the microphone. The men snapped to their feet and stood
silently. Patton surveyed the sea of brown with a grim
look. "Be seated", he said. The words were not a request, but
a command. The General's voice rose high and clear.
"Men, this stuff that some sources
sling around about America wanting out of this war, not
wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love
to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the
sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three
reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes
and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own
self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere
else. Third, you are here because you are real men and
all real men like to fight. When you, here, everyone of
you, were kids, you all admired the champion marble
player, the fastest runner, the toughest boxer, the big
league ball players, and the All-American football
players. Americans love a winner. Americans will not
tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards. Americans
play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in
hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans
have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very
idea of losing is hateful to an American."
The General paused
and looked over the crowd. "You
are not all going to die," he said slowly.
"Only two percent of you right here today would die
in a major battle. Death must not be feared. Death, in
time, comes to all men. Yes, every man is scared in his
first battle. If he says he's not, he's a liar. Some men
are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or
they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight
who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the
man who fights even though he is scared. Some men get
over their fright in a minute under fire. For some, it
takes an hour. For some, it takes days. But a real man
will never let his fear of death overpower his honor, his
sense of duty to his country, and his innate manhood.
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a
human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best
and it removes all that is base. Americans pride
themselves on being He Men and they ARE He Men. Remember
that the enemy is just as frightened as you are, and
probably more so. They are not supermen."
"All through your Army careers,
you men have bitched about what you call "chicken
shit drilling". That, like everything else in this
Army, has a definite purpose. That purpose is alertness.
Alertness must be bred into every soldier. I don't give a
fuck for a man who's not always on his toes. You men are
veterans or you wouldn't be here. You are ready for
what's to come. A man must be alert at all times if he
expects to stay alive. If you're not alert, sometime, a
German son-of-an-asshole-bitch is going to sneak up
behind you and beat you to death with a sockful of
shit!" The
men roared in agreement.
Patton's grim
expression did not change. "There
are four hundred neatly marked graves somewhere in
Sicily", he roared into the microphone, "All
because one man went to sleep on the job". He paused and the men grew
silent. "But they are
German graves, because we caught the bastard asleep
before they did".
The General clutched the microphone
tightly, his jaw out-thrust, and he continued, "An Army is a team. It lives, sleeps, eats,
and fights as a team. This individual heroic stuff is
pure horse shit. The bilious bastards who write that kind
of stuff for the Saturday Evening Post don't know any
more about real fighting under fire than they know about
fucking!"
The men slapped
their legs and rolled in glee. This was Patton as the men
had imagined him to be, and in rare form, too. He hadn't
let them down. He was all that he was cracked up to be,
and more. He had IT!
"We have the finest food, the
finest equipment, the best spirit, and the best men in
the world", Patton bellowed. He lowered his head and
shook it pensively. Suddenly he snapped erect, faced the
men belligerently and thundered, "Why, by God, I
actually pity those poor sons-of-bitches we're going up
against. By God, I do". The
men clapped and howled delightedly. There would be many a
barracks tale about the "Old Man's" choice
phrases. They would become part and parcel of Third
Army's history and they would become the bible of their
slang.
"My men don't surrender",
Patton continued, "I don't want to hear of any
soldier under my command being captured unless he has
been hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight back.
That's not just bull shit either. The kind of man that I
want in my command is just like the lieutenant in Libya,
who, with a Luger against his chest, jerked off his
helmet, swept the gun aside with one hand, and busted the
hell out of the Kraut with his helmet. Then he jumped on
the gun and went out and killed another German before
they knew what the hell was coming off. And, all of that
time, this man had a bullet through a lung. There was a
real man!"
Patton stopped and
the crowd waited. He continued more quietly, "All of the real heroes are not storybook
combat fighters, either. Every single man in this Army
plays a vital role. Don't ever let up. Don't ever think
that your job is unimportant. Every man has a job to do
and he must do it. Every man is a vital link in the great
chain. What if every truck driver suddenly decided that
he didn't like the whine of those shells overhead, turned
yellow, and jumped headlong into a ditch? The cowardly
bastard could say, "Hell, they won't miss me, just
one man in thousands". But, what if every man
thought that way? Where in the hell would we be now? What
would our country, our loved ones, our homes, even the
world, be like? No, Goddamnit, Americans don't think like
that. Every man does his job. Every man serves the whole.
Every department, every unit, is important in the vast
scheme of this war. The ordnance men are needed to supply
the guns and machinery of war to keep us rolling. The
Quartermaster is needed to bring up food and clothes
because where we are going there isn't a hell of a lot to
steal. Every last man on K.P. has a job to do, even the
one who heats our water to keep us from getting the 'G.I.
Shits'."
Patton paused, took
a deep breath, and continued, "Each
man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy
fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this
Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they
will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The
brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the
Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.
One of the bravest men that I ever saw was a fellow on
top of a telegraph pole in the midst of a furious fire
fight in Tunisia. I stopped and asked what the hell he
was doing up there at a time like that. He answered,
"Fixing the wire, Sir". I asked, "Isn't
that a little unhealthy right about now?" He
answered, "Yes Sir, but the Goddamned wire has to be
fixed". I asked, "Don't those planes strafing
the road bother you?" And he answered, "No,
Sir, but you sure as hell do!" Now, there was a real
man. A real soldier. There was a man who devoted all he
had to his duty, no matter how seemingly insignificant
his duty might appear at the time, no matter how great
the odds. And you should have seen those trucks on the
rode to Tunisia. Those drivers were magnificent. All day
and all night they rolled over those son-of-a-bitching
roads, never stopping, never faltering from their course,
with shells bursting all around them all of the time. We
got through on good old American guts. Many of those men
drove for over forty consecutive hours. These men weren't
combat men, but they were soldiers with a job to do. They
did it, and in one hell of a way they did it. They were
part of a team. Without team effort, without them, the
fight would have been lost. All of the links in the chain
pulled together and the chain became unbreakable."
The General paused
and stared challengingly over the silent ocean of men.
One could have heard a pin drop anywhere on that vast
hillside. The only sound was the stirring of the breeze
in the leaves of the bordering trees and the busy
chirping of the birds in the branches of the trees at the
General's left.
"Don't forget," Patton
barked, "you men don't know that I'm here. No
mention of that fact is to be made in any letters. The
world is not supposed to know what the hell happened to
me. I'm not supposed to be commanding this Army. I'm not
even supposed to be here in England. Let the first
bastards to find out be the Goddamned Germans. Some day I
want to see them raise up on their piss-soaked hind legs
and howl, 'Jesus Christ, it's the Goddamned Third Army
again and that son-of-a-fucking-bitch Patton'."
"We want to get the hell over
there", Patton continued, "The quicker we clean
up this Goddamned mess, the quicker we can take a little
jaunt against the purple pissing Japs and clean out their
nest, too. Before the Goddamned Marines get all of the
credit."
The men roared
approval and cheered delightedly. This statement had real
significance behind it. Much more than met the eye and
the men instinctively sensed the fact. They knew that
they themselves were going to play a very great part in
the making of world history. They were being told as much
right now. Deep sincerity and seriousness lay behind the
General's colorful words. The men knew and understood it.
They loved the way he put it, too, as only he could.
Patton continued
quietly, "Sure, we want
to go home. We want this war over with. The quickest way
to get it over with is to go get the bastards who started
it. The quicker they are whipped, the quicker we can go
home. The shortest way home is through Berlin and Tokyo.
And when we get to Berlin", he yelled, "I am
personally going to shoot that paper hanging
son-of-a-bitch Hitler. Just like I'd shoot a snake!"
"When a man is lying in a shell
hole, if he just stays there all day, a German will get
to him eventually. The hell with that idea. The hell with
taking it. My men don't dig foxholes. I don't want them
to. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. And
don't give the enemy time to dig one either. We'll win
this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by
showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they
have; or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot
the sons-of-bitches, we're going to rip out their living
Goddamned guts and use them to grease the treads of our
tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun cocksuckers
by the bushel-fucking-basket. War is a bloody, killing
business. You've got to spill their blood, or they will
spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shoot them in the
guts. When shells are hitting all around you and you wipe
the dirt off your face and realize that instead of dirt
it's the blood and guts of what once was your best friend
beside you, you'll know what to do!"
"I don't want to get any messages
saying, "I am holding my position." We are not
holding a Goddamned thing. Let the Germans do that. We
are advancing constantly and we are not interested in
holding onto anything, except the enemy's balls. We are
going to twist his balls and kick the living shit out of
him all of the time. Our basic plan of operation is to
advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we
have to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are
going to go through him like crap through a goose; like
shit through a tin horn!"
"From time to time there will be
some complaints that we are pushing our people too hard.
I don't give a good Goddamn about such complaints. I
believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat
will save a gallon of blood. The harder WE push, the more
Germans we will kill. The more Germans we kill, the fewer
of our men will be killed. Pushing means fewer
casualties. I want you all to remember that."
The General paused.
His eagle like eyes swept over the hillside. He said with
pride, "There is one
great thing that you men will all be able to say after
this war is over and you are home once again. You may be
thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting
by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he
asks you what you did in the great World War II, you
WON'T have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say,
"Well, your Granddaddy shoveled shit in
Louisiana." No, Sir, you can look him straight in
the eye and say, "Son, your Granddaddy rode with the
Great Third Army and a Son-of-a-Goddamned-Bitch named
Georgie Patton!"

Why The Zionists
Killed
General George S. Patton
From Dick Eastman

From Gavin Oughton
- At the end of World War II, one of
America's top military leaders accurately
assessed the shift in the balance of world power
which that war had produced and foresaw the
enormous danger of communist aggression against
the West. Alone among U.S. leaders he warned that
America should act immediately, while her
supremacy was unchallengeable, to end that
danger. Unfortunately, his warning went unheeded,
and he was quickly silenced by a convenient
"accident" which took his life.
-
- Thirty-two years ago, in the
terrible summer of 1945, the U.S. Army had just
completed the destruction of Europe and had set
up a government of military occupation amid the
ruins to rule the starving Germans and deal out
victors' justice to the vanquished. General
George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. Third
Army, became military governor of the greater
portion of the American occupation zone of
Germany.
- Patton was regarded as the
"fightingest" general in all the Allied
forces. He was considerably more audacious and
aggressive than most commanders, and his martial
ferocity may very well have been the deciding
factor which led to the Allied victory. He
personally commanded his forces in many of the
toughest and most decisive battles of the war: in
Tunisia, in Sicily, in the cracking of the
Siegfried Line, in holding back the German
advance during the Battle of the Bulge, in the
exceptionally bloody fighting around Bastogne in
December 1944 and January 1945.
-
- During the war Patton had
respected the courage and the fighting qualities
of the Germans -- especially when he compared
them with those of some of America's allies --
but he had also swallowed whole the hate-inspired
wartime propaganda generated by America's alien
media masters.
- He believed Germany was a
menace to America's freedom and that Germany's
National Socialist government was an especially
evil institution. Acting on these beliefs he
talked incessantly of his desire to kill as many
Germans as possible, and he exhorted his troops
to have the same goal. These bloodthirsty
exhortations led to the nickname "Blood and
Guts" Patton.
-
- It was only in the final days of
the war and during his tenure as military
governor of Germany -- after he had gotten to
know both the Germans and America's "gallant
Soviet allies" -- that Patton's
understanding of the true situation grew and his
opinions changed. In his diary and in many
letters to his family, friends, various military
colleagues, and government officials, he
expressed his new understanding and his
apprehensions for the future. His diary and his
letters were published in 1974 by the Houghton
Mifflin Company under the title The Patton
Papers.
-
- Several months before the end of
the war, General Patton had recognized the
fearful danger to the West posed by the Soviet
Union, and he had disagreed bitterly with the
orders which he had been given to hold back his
army and wait for the Red Army to occupy vast
stretches of German, Czech, Rumanian, Hungarian,
and Yugoslav territory, which the Americans could
have easily taken instead.
- On May 7, 1945, just before the
German capitulation, Patton had a conference in
Austria with U.S. Secretary of War Robert
Patterson. Patton was gravely concerned over the
Soviet failure to respect the demarcation lines
separating the Soviet and American occupation
zones. He was also alarmed by plans in Washington
for the immediate partial demobilization of the
U.S. Army.
-
- Patton said to Patterson:
"Let's keep our boots polished, bayonets
sharpened, and present a picture of force and
strength to the Red Army. This is the only
language they understand and respect."
-
- Patterson replied, "Oh,
George, you have been so close to this thing so
long, you have lost sight of the big
picture."
- Patton rejoined: "I
understand the situation. Their (the Soviet)
supply system is inadequate to maintain them in a
serious action such as I could put to them. They
have chickens in the coop and cattle on the hoof
-- that's their supply system. They could
probably maintain themselves in the type of
fighting I could give them for five days. After
that it would make no difference how many million
men they have, and if you wanted Moscow I could
give it to you. They lived on the land coming
down. There is insufficient left for them to
maintain themselves going back. Let's not give
them time to build up their supplies. If we do,
then . . . we have had a victory over the Germans
and disarmed them, but we have failed in the
liberation of Europe. We have lost the
war!"
-
- Patton's urgent and prophetic
advice went unheeded by Patterson and the other
politicians and only served to give warning about
Patton's feelings to the alien conspirators
behind the scenes in New York, Washington, and
Moscow.
-
- The more he saw of the Soviets,
the stronger Patton's conviction grew that the
proper course of action would be to stifle
Communism then and there, while the chance
existed.
- Later in May 1945, he attended
several meetings and social affairs
-
- with top Red Army officers, and he
evaluated them carefully. He noted in his diary
on May 14: "I have never seen in any army at
any time, including the German Imperial Army of
1912, as severe discipline as exists in the
Russian army. The officers, with few exceptions,
give the appearance of recently civilized
Mongolian bandits."
-
- And Patton's aide, General Hobart
Gay, noted in his own journal for May 14:
"Everything they (the Russians) did
impressed one with the idea of virility and
cruelty."
-
- Nevertheless, Patton knew that the
Americans could whip the Reds then -- but perhaps
not later. On May 18 he noted in his diary:
"In my opinion, the American Army as it now
exists could beat the Russians with the greatest
of ease, because, while the Russians have good
infantry, they are lacking in artillery, air,
tanks, and in the knowledge of the use of the
combined arms, whereas we excel in all three of
these. If it should be necessary to right the
Russians, the sooner we do it the better."
-
- Two days later he repeated his
concern when he wrote his wife: "If we have
to fight them, now is the time. From now on we
will get weaker and they stronger."
-
- Having immediately recognized the
Soviet danger and urged a course of action which
would have freed all of eastern Europe from the
communist yoke with the expenditure of far less
American blood than was spilled in Korea and
Vietnam and would have obviated both those later
wars not to mention World War III -- Patton next
came to appreciate the true nature of the people
for whom World War II was fought: the Jews.
-
- Most of the Jews swarming over
Germany immediately after the war came from
Poland and Russia, and Patton found their
personal habits shockingly uncivilized.
-
- He was disgusted by their behavior
in the camps for Displaced Persons (DP's) which
the Americans built for them and even more
disgusted by the way they behaved when they were
housed in German hospitals and private homes. He
observed with horror that "these people do
not understand toilets and refuse to use them
except as repositories for tin cans, garbage, and
refuse . . . They decline, where practicable, to
use latrines, preferring to relieve themselves on
the floor."
- He described in his diary one DP
camp, "where, although room existed, the
Jews were crowded together to an appalling
extent, and in practically every room there was a
pile of garbage in one corner which was also used
as a latrine. The Jews were only forced to desist
from their nastiness and clean up the mess by the
threat of the butt ends of rifles. Of course, I
know the expression 'lost tribes of Israel'
applied to the tribes which disappeared -- not to
the tribe of Judah from which the current sons of
bitches are descended. However, it is my personal
opinion that this too is a lost tribe -- lost to
all decency."
-
- Patton's initial impressions of
the Jews were not improved when he attended a
Jewish religious service at Eisenhower's
insistence. His diary entry for September 17,
1945, reads in part: "This happened to be
the feast of Yom Kippur, so they were all
collected in a large, wooden building, which they
called a synagogue. It behooved General
Eisenhower to make a speech to them. We entered
the synagogue, which was packed with the greatest
stinking bunch of humanity I have ever seen. When
we got about halfway up, the head rabbi, who
was
dressed in a fur hat similar to that worn by
Henry VIII of England and in a surplice heavily
embroidered and very filthy, came down and met
the General . . . The smell was so terrible that
I almost fainted and actually about three hours
later lost my lunch as the result of remembering
it."
-
- These experiences and a great many
others firmly convinced Patton that the Jews were
an especially unsavory variety of creature and
hardly deserving of all the official concern the
American government was bestowing on them.

get over it Joe.

myself."

- Another September diary entry,
following a demand from Washington that more
German housing be turned over to Jews, summed up
his feelings: "Evidently the virus started
by Morgenthau and Baruch of a Semitic revenge
against all Germans is still working. Harrison (a
U.S. State Department official) and his
associates indicate that they feel German
civilians should be removed from houses for the
purpose of housing Displaced Persons. There are
two errors in this assumption. First, when we
remove an individual German we punish an
individual German, while the punishment is -- not
intended for the individual but for the race,
Furthermore, it is against my Anglo-Saxon
conscience to remove a person from a house, which
is a punishment, without due process of law. In
the second place, Harrison and his ilk believe
that the Displaced Person is a human being, which
he is not, and this applies particularly to the
Jews, who are lower than animals."
-
- One of the strongest factors in
straightening out General Patton's thinking on
the conquered Germans was the behavior of
America's controlled news media toward them. At a
press conference in Regensburg, Germany, on May
8, 1945, immediately after Germany's surrender,
Patton was asked whether he planned to treat
captured SS troops differently from other German
POW's. His answer was: "No. SS means no more
in Germany than being a Democrat in America
-- that is not to be quoted. I mean by that
that initially the SS people were special sons of
bitches, but as the war progressed they ran out
of sons of bitches and then they put anybody in
there. Some of the top SS men will be treated as
criminals, but there is no reason for trying
someone who was drafted into this outfit . .
."
-
- Despite Patton's request that his
remark not be quoted, the press eagerly seized on
it, and Jews and their front men in America
screamed in outrage over Patton's comparison of
the SS and the Democratic Party as well as over
his announced intention of treating most SS
prisoners humanely.
-
- Patton refused to take hints from
the press, however, and his disagreement with the
American occupation policy formulated in
Washington grew. Later in May he said to his
brother-in-law: "I think that this
non-fraternization is very stupid. If we are
going to keep American soldiers in a country,
they have to have some civilians to talk to.
Furthermore, I think we could do a lot for the
German civilians by letting our soldiers talk to
their young people."
-
- Various of Patton's colleagues
tried to make it perfectly clear what was
expected of him. One politically ambitious
officer, Brig. Gen. Philip S. Gage, anxious to
please the powers that be, wrote to Patton:
"Of course, I know that even your extensive
powers are limited, but I do hope that wherever
and whenever you can you will do what you can to
make the German populace suffer. For God's sake,
please don't ever go soft in regard to them.
Nothing could ever be too bad for them."
-
- But Patton continued to do what he
thought was right, whenever he could. With great
reluctance, and only after repeated promptings
from Eisenhower, he had thrown German families
out of their homes to make room for more than a
million Jewish DP's -- part of the famous
"six million" who had supposedly been
gassed -- but he balked when ordered to begin
blowing up German factories, in accord with the
infamous Morgenthau Plan to destroy Germany's
economic basis forever. In his diary he wrote:
"I doubted the expediency of blowing up
factories, because the ends for which the
factories are being blown up -- that is,
preventing Germany from preparing for war -- can
be equally well attained through the destruction
of their machinery, while the buildings can be
used to house thousands of homeless
persons."
- Similarly, he expressed his doubts
to his military colleagues about the overwhelming
emphasis being placed on the persecution of every
German who had formerly been a member of the
National Socialist party. In a letter to his wife
of September 14, 1945, he said: "I am
frankly opposed to this war criminal stuff . It
is not cricket and is Semitic. I am also opposed
to sending POW's to work as slaves in foreign
lands, where many will be starved to death."
-
- Despite his disagreement with
official policy, Patton followed the rules laid
down by Morgenthau and others back in Washington
as closely as his conscience would allow, but he
tried to moderate the effect, and this brought
him into increasing conflict with Eisenhower and
the other politically ambitious generals. In
another letter to his wife he commented: "I
have been at Frankfurt for a civil government
conference. If what we are doing (to the Germans)
is 'Liberty, then give me death.' I can't see how
Americans can sink so low. It is Semitic, and I
am sure of it."
-
- And in his diary he noted:,
"Today we received orders . . . in which we
were told to give the Jews special
accommodations. If for Jews, why not Catholics,
Mormons, etc? . . . We are also turning over to
the French several hundred thousand prisoners of
war to be used as slave labor in France. It is
amusing to recall that we fought the Revolution
in defense of the rights of man and the Civil War
to abolish slavery and have now gone back on both
principles."
-
- His duties as military governor
took Patton to all parts of Germany and
intimately acquainted him with the German people
and their condition. He could not help but
compare them with the French, the Italians, the
Belgians, and even the British. This comparison
gradually forced him to the conclusion that World
War II had been fought against the wrong people.

In 1944, the Allies, including the 3rd
Infantry Division, had just defeated the Germans
at the Anzio beachhead in Italy and were resting
for the next push toward Rome. During the lull in
the fighting in that sector, the 3rd Division
offered Passover services. Bill said it was the
the strangest Passover he could remember. They
couldn't hear the crunching of the Matzo over the
gunfire from the fierce fighting at Cisterna to
the east, but the service went on.
- After a visit to ruined Berlin, he
wrote his wife on July 21, 1945: "Berlin
gave me the blues. We have destroyed what could
have been a good race, and we are about to
replace them with Mongolian savages. And all
Europe will be communist. It's said that for the
first week after they took it (Berlin), all women
who ran were shot and those who did not were
raped. I could have taken it (instead of the
Soviets) had I been allowed."
-
- This conviction, that the
politicians had used him and the U.S. Army for a
criminal purpose, grew in the following weeks.
During a dinner with French General Alphonse Juin
in August, Patton was surprised to find the
Frenchman in agreement with him. His diary entry
for August 18 quotes Gen. Juin: "It is
indeed unfortunate, mon General, that the English
and the Americans have destroyed in Europe the
only sound country -- and I do not mean France.
Therefore, the road is now open for the advent of
Russian communism."
-
- Later diary entries and letters to
his wife reiterate this same conclusion. On
August 31 he wrote: "Actually, the Germans
are the only decent people left in Europe. it's a
choice between them and the Russians. I prefer
the Germans." And on September 2: "What
we are doing is to destroy the only semi-modern
state in Europe, so that Russia can swallow the
whole."
- By this time the Morgenthauists
and media monopolists had decided that Patton was
incorrigible and must be discredited. So they
began a non-stop hounding of him in the press, a
la Watergate, accusing him of being "soft on
Nazis" and continually recalling an incident
in which he had slapped a shirker two years
previously, during the Sicily campaign. A New
York newspaper printed the completely false claim
that when Patton had slapped the soldier who was
Jewish, he had called him a "yellow-bellied
Jew."
-
- Then, in a press conference on
September 22, reporters hatched a scheme to
needle Patton into losing his temper and making
statements which could be used against him. The
scheme worked. The press interpreted one of
Patton's answers to their insistent questions as
to why he was not pressing the Nazi-hunt hard
enough as: "The Nazi thing is just like a
Democrat-Republican fight." The New York
Times headlined this quote, and other papers all
across America picked it up.
-
- The unmistakable hatred which had
been directed at him during this press conference
finally opened Patton's eyes fully as to what was
afoot. In his diary that night lie wrote:
"There is a very apparent Semitic influence
in the press. They are trying to do two things:
first, implement communism, and second, see that
all businessmen of German ancestry and non-Jewish
antecedents are thrown out of their jobs. They
have utterly lost the Anglo-Saxon conception of
justice and feel that a man can be kicked out
because somebody else says he is a Nazi. They
were evidently quite shocked when I told them I
would kick nobody out without the successful
proof of guilt before a court of law . . .
Another point which the press harped on was the
fact that we were doing too much for the Germans
to the detriment of the DP's, most of whom are
Jews. I could not give the answer to that one,
because the answer is that, in my opinion and
that of most nonpolitical officers, it is vitally
necessary for us to build Germany up now as a
buffer state against Russia. In fact, I am afraid
we have waited too long."
-
- And in a letter of the same date
to his wife: "I will probably be in the
headlines before you get this, as the press is
trying to quote me as being more interested in
restoring order in Germany than in catching
Nazis. I can't tell them the truth that unless we
restore Germany we will insure that communism
takes America."
-
- Eisenhower responded immediately
to the press outcry against Patton and made the
decision to relieve him of his duties as military
governor and "kick him upstairs" as the
commander of the Fifteenth Army. In a letter to
his wife on September 29, Patton indicated that
he was, in a way, not unhappy with his new
assignment, because "I would like it much
better than being a sort of executioner to the
best race in Europe."

-
- But even his change of duties did
not shut Patton up. In his diary entry of October
1 we find the observation: "In thinking over
the situation, I could not but be impressed with
the belief that at the present moment the
unblemished record of the American Army for
non-political activities is about to be lost.
Everyone seems to be more interested in the
effects which his actions will have on his
political future than in carrying out the motto
of the United States Military Academy, 'Duty,
Honor, Country.' I hope that after the current
crop of political aspirants has been gathered our
former tradition will be restored."
-
- And Patton continued to express
these sentiments to his friends -- and those he
thought were his friends. On October 22 he wrote
a long letter to Maj. Gen. James G. Harbord, who
was back in the States. In the letter Patton
bitterly condemned the Morgenthau policy;
Eisenhower's pusillanimous behavior in the face
of Jewish demands; the strong pro-Soviet bias in
the press; and the politicization, corruption,
degradation, and demoralization of the U.S. Army
which these things were causing.
-
- He saw the demoralization of the
Army as a deliberate goal of America's enemies:
"I have been just as furious as you at the
compilation of lies which the communist and
Semitic elements of our government have leveled
against me and practically every other commander.
In my opinion it is a deliberate attempt to
alienate the soldier vote from the commanders,
because the communists know that soldiers are not
communistic, and they fear what eleven million
votes (of veterans) would do."
-
- His denunciation of the
politicization of the Army was scathing:
"All the general officers in the higher
brackets receive each morning from the War
Department a set of American (newspaper)
headlines, and, with the sole exception of
myself, they guide themselves during the ensuing
day by what they have read in the papers. . .
."
-
- In his letter to Harbord, Patton
also revealed his own plans to fight those who
were destroying the morale and integrity of the
Army and endangering America's future by not
opposing the growing Soviet might: "It is my
present thought . . . that when I finish this
job, which will be around the first of the year,
I shall resign, not retire, because if I retire I
will still have a gag in my mouth . . . I should
not start a limited counterattack, which would be
contrary to my military theories, but should wait
until I can start an all-out offensive . . .
."
-
- Two months later, on December 23,
1945, General George S. Patton was silenced
forever.

bastard die for his country."

-
- The murder of Patton is known
for a fact, known for the very simple
reason that an agent of the well-known OSS
(Office Of Strategic Services), an American
Military Spy named Douglas Bazata, A Jew of
Lebanese origin, announced it in front of 450
invited guests, nearly all high-ranking
ex-members of the OSS at the Hilton Hotel in
Washington, DC the 25th of September, 1979.
- Bazata stated, word-for-word:
"For diverse political reasons, many
extremely high-ranking persons hated Patton. I
know who killed him because I am the one who was
hired to do it. Ten thousand dollars. General
William J. 'Wild Bill' Donovan himself, director
Of O.S.S, entrusted ne with the mission. I set up
the 'accident.' Since he didn't die in the
accident, he was kept in isolation in the
hospital, where he was killed with a cyanide
injection."
-
- The tragic fate of General George
S. Patton convinced other 'colleagues' and their
honorable 'compatriots' of the uselessness of
fighting against the 'War Powers' That Be.
