Patton Born: America's Fiercest General Arrives
George Patton was slapped a general — twice. He slapped two soldiers he believed were malingering in field hospitals during the Sicily campaign. Eisenhower nearly ended his career over it. Instead, Patton was sidelined long enough for the Germans to conclude he wouldn't be involved in D-Day. They were wrong. He commanded the Third Army's breakout across France, covering more ground faster than any Allied force. He died in December 1945 from injuries in a minor car accident after surviving the entire war.
