George S. Patton – The Man The Germans Feared

George Patton In World War IIGeorge S.. Patton was a man of contradictions – charismatic, cunning, courageous, self-confident and superstitious, egotistical and emotional. And he was one of the greatest generals ever to serve the USA.  Along with Generals Washington, Grant and Sherman, Patton was able to lead men to tremendous victories through personal bravery, strategic initiative and sheer daring.  Among all the USA generals in WWII, he was the one the Germans most feared.

His success on the battlefield is unquestioned. However, his odd personality has been the subject of great speculation.  In this fast moving and fascinating multimedia presentation, we will explore the unique background of a man of great controversy – and even greater achievement!
