Watched a documentary called "Silence Patton" which hinted at the idea that Gen. Patton may have been an assassinated instead of just an unfortunate car accident. Wanted to get y'alls opinions about this
the documentary actually went as far as to say he was the first casualty of the Cold War. I'm leaning towards believing itCiboag96 said:
I believe it. National security.
I never said I believed it. But, he seemed to be very opinionated about the Russians, and knew they would be our next enemyPanzerAggie06 said:
What evidence was produced that led you to believe he was assassinated?

There's been some compelling arguments that he was neglected pretty badly in the military hospital after the accident. Most similar patients would have survived his injuries w average care. Somehow he did not. Of course could've been simple bad luck but circumstances do look a bit suspect
best answer so far on this threadTRD-Ferguson said:
Would have been pointless to assassinate him as he has probably been reincarnated at least twice.
His driver made a sudden stop throwing him forward -per a book on Patton. A lady cousin committed suicide when she got word he had died!dcbowers said:AggieMD95 said:

In an automobile accident, Patton suffered a C3-C4 vertebral body dislocation and cervical spinal cord injury. Not sure that this was a survivable injury in 1945.
