Secret Mission to Crush the Third Reich | Patton 360 (S1, E10) | Full Episode

My grandfather was on the third wave of Normandy, and then later on was under General Patton during his campaigns, including the battle of the bulge and the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp. He told my uncle that the liberation of the concentration camp was worse than what he saw on Normandy beaches.

Currently our politicians and their wealthy masters are crapping all over those soldiers sacrifices and the service of all active duty folks and vets like me.

Caesar's legions never conquered Germany, That's why they are different. They were never "Romanized."

Who but God himself could provide the right man at such a crucial time in history with what it takes to do a job no man should ever have to do. Ive thought many times about the burden and responsibility being handed the task of sending young men/any men or women into the horrors of combat also doing jobs no human being should have to do or to endure such experiences and live with them the rest of their life. Men like George Patton do not grow on trees, but every so often they seem to emerge when they are most needed, RIP to George S. Patton and many more other bonafide heroes in the rank and file who fought and still fight to their last doing the grisly work of fighting wars and preserving freedom.

Noooooooooooo!!!!!! Patton messed up!!! Fredrick the Great never said that! It was William the Conqueror!!!

I grew up in Detroit Michigan.

Patton, even with his faults, WAS OUR BEST GENERAL...

We had a gentleman at our church who fought at the Bulge. He would come to church and welcome the folks on Sundays. Occasionally he would wear his uniform and boots. It was very inspirational. He has since passed away. Thank you to all who fought for our Freedom and to those who gave the Ultimate Sacrifice.

I lived in Luxembourg for four years . I've visited his grave many times. All through Luxembourg are small 4 foot high markers, with the date that town was liberated by Patton. And in one town they still held a "Patton" festival every year, along with year round WW2 Museum.

Patton... As a man in 2023
I salute and thank you!

Cesar didn’t fight the Huns 😂😂

IDK why Neierstein is listed as the crossing point when it was in Oppenheim. My friend lives 10km south of Oppenheim in Osthofen and the crossing is obviously in Oppenheim.

I just realized, the prison camp is stalag 13 😂

I challenge the History Channel to explain where in the Jay Treaty America declared its neutrality

What about Zhukov 360?

There were murmerings of Patton running for president eventually. Mix that with his overtly wanting to go ahead and crush the soviets ... suddenly he is in a car accident before even leaving europe....
People do weird things in the name of power. Just look at the Clinton's.

I'd never seen that portion of Patton's speech.

Patton wanted to disclose alien technology. That's why he was "taken out"

Dem species was dare inventen stuff.

Patton knew that the former USSR was dangerous and that we needed to go there

🇺🇸

Watching this video reminds me of ww2 when AMERICA was fighting 2 fronts 1 in EUROPE and the other in the PACIFIC against the JAPANESE in the PACIFIC OCEAN but after GERMANY Los after the battle of midway AMERICAN subs went on the hunt then the ATOMIC BOMB and ww2 ended case closed

According to my dad, a tank commander, the people who worked under him said "His guts, our blood."

My uncle was with Patton from Africa to Cesily then to France.

Somebody must have pointed out that the video gets Hitler's suicide date wrong. It was April 30th of 1945, not May 7th as is indicated in the video around the 37 minute mark.

march 8th 45

My husband was in Patton's 3rd Army. Ben loved two things his jeep and General Patton.

What Fred Cottriel doesn't know or doesn't mention is that those flags are not planted by the American Battle Monuments Commission, which is a branch of the Federal Government that is charged with maintaining overseas graveyards. Yes, our taxes pay for the maintenance of American graveyards in France, Belgium, and probably more locations that I am unaware of. The flags that Fred Cottriel mentions are placed there by Belgium citizens every year in thanks of their liberation. The "Remember Museum", is the perfect example of how much the Belgian people respect the US for their freedom.

Patton was removed because he was a political threat. They feared he'd run for president. It was no accident

Jesus Loves You

George Patton was a very serious person.

May 7 is not when Hitler committed suicide. Adolf Hitler committed suicide via gunshot wound to the head on April 30, 1945. They got it wrong in this video, they said he killed himself on May 7, 1945 and he did not. Germany unconditionally surrendered on May 7, 1945. Then May 8, 1945 is celebrated and known as VE Day or Victory in Europe day.

secet mission to crush the reich good show

I’ve watched many videos on Gen Patton the amazing man 2-3 times. In the end, Patton has proven he was a wiser and better man than Gen Eisenhower, not to take anything away from Ike’s accomplishment. I could only surmise, if Patton had his way, Normandy and other battles could have turned out differently and so would history. Victor Davis Hanson, a recent great wiseman and thinker changed his views toward Donald Trump before and a year after Trump became the President and compared him with Patton and Ajax says something about these three men and the thinking of the common men.

I've seen a few different documentaries about Patton's accident that lead to his death. In no other presentation do they mention a truck stalling ,forcing the other truck to swerve around. They just said that the truck swerved into Patton's path for no reason. raising the suspicion of the "accident" being a cover for an assassination.

GOAT legend iconic thank for service

Baum's raid wasn't an intentional diversion by Patton? This type of movement has been known about since Roman times. Where you will send a smaller, but well armed force head long into the enemy to divert their attention away from your main task force.

Patton was right.

Uhmm , that was a peculiar death. Thank you so much General Patton. You personified a magnificent part of the American spirit.

What a difference between the WW2 generation and the one of today...

Sigh heil

YOU ARE THE MAN PATON

Old blood and guts ,

I wonder at what point hitler admitted to himself that his dream wouldn't be coming true. I'm sure it was well before he took the cowardly way out.
