U.S. Army General George S. Patton is one of the greatest and most
controversial battle commanders of World War II. His tactics were
criticized by his detractors, lauded by his peers, and feared by
the Nazis in North Africa, Sicily, France, and northern Europe.
Some erroneously assumed he plunged his troops into battle with
little or no forethought, but in fact he studied his opponent’s
writings and tactics, knew the terrain and weather conditions on
anticipated fields of fire, and even relied on the Bible for
guidance.

Almost no other general or world leader from World War II has been
written about more than Old Blood and Guts Patton – a nickname he
hated. Even today, despite advances in weaponry and technology,
military commanders still study his battle tactics.
