Yeah right…for all his bull*&^%, Patton would have most probably got his ass handed to him by Zukhov.
Time makes people look greater by glossing over their weaknesses, but do not forget Patton was not liked by anybody, even Americans. This guy was one failure away from being fired….very brilliant but demonstrated a good reason why generals should never be trusted with long-term strategy issues.
