Oh right! Joe Stalin could have run his army all the way to Gibraltar if he would have wanted to, and kicked off ANY American British or French army. The fact he didn't says a lot that people like you apparently can't hear. The reason for the Cold war was simply American nuclear development, and their running nuclear bombsbring up to Soviet borders with bombers and later with missiles and submarines. And when America reneged on every single deal they made with the Russians for post-war development and such,the American financial class effectively made enemies of the Russians into the foreseeable future. This was to as they said contain communism, and also to provide unending trillions of dollars into the development of these idiotic weapons. The Soviet Union is gone now but Russia is still an enemy, and China stands out now to the Pentagon for reduction. Like Patton these people will never be out of wars because they don't yet possess everything. And to say that they are psychotic is very valid imo

We needed both types of men to win the war. We needed a grizzled, hardened, combat commander who understood the realities of war. And we needed a brilliant logistician and more kindhearted man to keep the other in balance. Ike and Patton filled those rolls perfectly. The brains and the brawn. I mean, all due respect to Ike. He did trade shots with Mexican rebels a few times from what I have read and didn't flinch. So if he were sent to France, I am sure he would have been every bit the combat man that his piers were. But his main strength was in organization and tempering his more bull-headed generals. Two absolute legends. Two heroes. I just hope that despite their differences they learned to appreciate each other by the end of it all.

This scene is a dramatization. In reality, Eisenhower reprimanded Patton in writing, not in person. But it is worth knowing a few things about the slapping incident. First, there were actually two incidents. Both of the two men Patton slapped had initially refused to leave their units to seek medical attention, and had to be ordered to do so. Also, they were both running fevers when they arrived at the field hospitals to which they reported, and had other physical symptoms, although, in the case of the first man, it turned out that he had malaria and dysentery, which probably explained his 102 degree fever. So Patton almost certainly overreacted, and the reprimand was justified.

This is such an underrated movie. A war movie without a single battle....without a single shot. But, it showed the real drama of the event. From the butting of heads of the generals with different opinions that Ike had to manage, to the suffocating pressure Ike felt to get it right, and, most interesting of all (and almost completely unknown), the unbelievable importance of getting the weather forecast right, and the role Stagg played. Stagg and his people managed to peg the forecast for the day exactly right....when even now, with all the radar and tools the weather still ends up confounding meteorologists. Almost as much as all the combined tactics of Fortitude combined, it was the Allies detecting the brief lull, when the Germans did not (and thus felt an invasion would be impossible) that created such surprise on D-Day. Rommel was so convinced the lousy weather would mean no invasion, that he actually left Germany and went home to visit his family.

It's the kind of moment that happens infrequently in life, and there's no do overs, no take backs, and no chance to do it differently. The wrong response will haunt you the rest of the your life. A word about Ike the real man-- it was said of him during his presidency by those who didn't know him that he was a great guy but a lousy politician.

Ike was a good leader but he hated war a bit too much. A bit more aggression during his presidency would have saved countless lives in the long run. In particular, he should have sent the marines in to get rid of Batista, and he should have made the Shah see sense and how shaky his hold on power was. The second was a long shot, but imagine a world without an Iranian revolution. The first though was easily within his power. Imagine a world without Castro, without the Bay of Pigs, without the Cuban Missile Crisis, and without the 50 military interventions Cuba made in the 3rd world at the USSR's behest.

It's hard to make a judgement on a film in a 3-minute clip, however, what I see (as a former film critic) is poor direction and an unrealistic piece of a script. These two men would be far more informal. Eisenhower spent 7 years as MacArthur's Chief of Staff, he was not intimidated by any high-ranking officer. Patton, of whom I've read a lot, would have, I think, put up much more of a confrontational defence if any encounter like this ever did take place. George C. Marshall, Ike, even Montgomery admitted that Patton was the man you put in to get a tough job done and done quickly. I really think his relationships with other senior, superior officers have been exaggerated for dramatic effect. It was the press, at the time, that gave Patton so many column inches/pages because he could always be relied upon for fantastic quotes. I've read a lot of the press coverage that Patton got and it is classic 'tabloid' material long before the term was coined. Film makers, 'lazy' historians and script writers have taken much of the manufactured controversy surrounding Patton and run with it. General Patton, by his own admission, only ever wanted one thing; to lead a significant number of troops into important battles; and as much as possible, lead from the front. Patton, by the way, wrote a highly insightful book about Australian forces in Gallipoli during WW1. Patton was a true military historian, as am I these days. Patton was well aware of the 'big picture', the politics and, almost obsessively, his part in the military history of the United States. Finally, there is another reason why so many people stick the boot into Patton. He tragically died right after the war in a road accident (some lunatics say he was murdered by the Army or the President!?) Anyway, he was not around to defend himself and, being a good writer, his memoirs would have made for gripping reading. Sadly, we were robbed of a post-war Patton. You can bet New York to a brick that had he lived he would have been asked to 'run' the Korean war and even Patton would not have made the monumental stuff ups that 'Big Mac' did. Patton was one of the most fascinating, complex and talented generals the world has ever seen. Cheers, BH

After all the official stuff had been dealt with, the truth of the matter was brought to Patton's attention. He promptly summoned the private to his office and offered a sincere apology.

The German planners expected the Western allies to take two weeks to get that flank attack started.

Read "HONOR UNTARNISHED: A West Point Graduate's Memoir of WWII" by Donald Bennett, it will give a more accurate picture of Gen Patton and Gen Eisenhower. He served under both and was in the adjoining bay at the hospital where the slapping incident occurred. Patton was cheered by the wounded soldiers present. Eisenhower was a politician, and commanded as such. If Patton would have been turned loose, the war in Europe would have ended sooner, and many Allied lives saved. That came not just from Patton fans from America, but from German generals after the defeat of the Nazis. They feared Patton.

He's a couple inches shorter than Patton (who is listed at 6'1" and I verified by looking at photos of them standing side by side). He's about 5" taller than Monty. Eisenhower's son was about 6'3 tho and towers over him (looks like beanpole too).

What too many don't know or purposely ignore is that the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were allies until 1941, TWO YEARS after WWII began in Europe. They divided Central Europe. It wasn't until Hitler turned and gave Stalin a huge dose of death and destruction that he came begging to the Allies for help. If the Russians suffered huge casualties it was due to their own choice to team up with a known enemy and struggle to survive rather than any heroic action to buy time for the Allies. Also Stalin didn't have any problem staying out of the war in the Pacific until the absolute very end when he started taking territory when the majority of the fighting was done.

A non-aggression treaty isn't the same as an alliance. The Soviets were going to invade Europe one way or another. They only got half of it, but could have easily gotten it all if it were up to the French and British. The "Iron Curtain" would have been the English Channel.

The non-aggression pact gave Soviets free hands to attack Finland in 1939. When their invasion failed with massive casualties, it sparked Hitler's interest in invading Soviet Union. That's when the Soviets attacked Finland again and Finland made a deal with the Germans, allowing their troops to pass through during Operation Barbarossa in exchange for weapons, ammo and air support. German anti-tank weaponry played a key role in repelling a major Soviet offensive in the Battle of Tali-Ihantala in 1944.

I think you may be over-simplifying the conflict of the Eastern front. For one, they had a non-aggression pact, which guaranteed no support for one another. It was a means for Russia and Germany to split Poland and to ensure that neither would be at each other’s neck while one took France and the other took Finland (failing miserably in their attempt). The failure of Russian forces to win anything of substance agains the industrially insignificant, lower supplied and lower populated nation of Finland was blood in the water for the German shark. And ignoring all of the immediate background to the beginning of Operation Barbarossa, Russia had been lagging behind the other European powers arguably since Peter the Great. They failed to industrialize and modernize overall, which greatly crippled their military when put at odds against powers like Germany. Hell, even the Japanese, who were in a very similar set of circumstances only a few decades prior, managed to outprogress the Russian Empire and establish a military capable of defeating them in the Russo-Japanese war. The Tsar’s blatant and repeated refusals to divide their powers with the common people leas to volatile socio-political instability. Entering the war with a poorly trained, ill-equipped and weak army also crippled them greatly. Following the revolution and overthrow of the Tsar, the Reds tried to keep the war going for a touch, but that ultimately resulted in them surrendering a large chunk of territory. Not even being invited to the table at the Treaty of Versailles, the lands they lost ended up becoming independent states like Poland, Lithuania, Finland, etc. The Reds inherited a crapshoot nation that had effectively lost a war and just waged a civil war. Stalin’s reign of terror that killed millions in the Holodomor and forced people to relocate to cities and agricultural collectives did a big help in pulling the Soviet Union closer to the 20th century. But the gains he made were crippled by his execution of veteran commanders in his paranoid fear of coup. So by the time the Germans invade Russia, they are facing a country which has laid the foundations of a modern industrial power, but not fully fleshed out that design. The Russians were blind-sided and were completely unprepared to defend their soil against the technologically advanced and well-coordinated blitzkrieging Wehrmacht. They also really did not have any allies until German invaded. So they had to scramble for British and American alliances. And both the Western powers and the Soviets really needed each other. The two-front pretty much cemented Germany’s defeat. The Russians had to scramble to assemble a force which could withstand the German offensives, but they lacked the industry, invention and ingenious commanders at the start to give them even a reasonable defense in the beginning. They quickly created simple tanks, simple machine guns, simple planes, simple artillery and rushed basic training for troops, rushing as many people, tanks and arms as they could to the frontlines. And this makeshift rushed defense in the face of sudden unexpected attack from a superior force combined with the absolutely ruthless attitudes the Germans had for the Slavic Communists lead to an overwhelming death toll of roughly 10,000,000 Soviet soldiers and just as many Soviet civilians. I could go on with what I understand to be the background and situation of the whole thing. But I’m no historian, and my takes may be faulty or only partially true. Whatever the case, I don’t think that chalking up the death toll to the Molotv-Ribbentrop Pact is a comprehensive explanation.

He was only right because America couldn't quench it's thirst for imperialism and power. As far as I'm concerned, this war is still being fought, because the Nazi sympathizers in the America never stopped fighting. Ike warned us about the military taking over, and they did just that in 1963, and haven't given it up since. There is a reason that born wealthy military officers are considered heroes today, and politicians are considered snakes.

Because to be sent home as a general just as the final push to victory was beginning would have exposed him as a risk to operations and, it must be said, to his own men. It would have meant spending the rest of his career at a desk, unable to be a publicly-recognized hero, unable to get what he craved - an audience.

Even though communism was the next enemy it didn’t help defeat it with those comments. In fact it made it worse imagine all those old colonies from Europe were handed over to communism because they feared the rule of Anglo saxons people over them. It explains why places like Vietnam turned into a shit storm later on. Lucky that India didn’t go that way to. Imagine a communist India. That would be terrifying.
