If you’re ever in the Tampa, FL area, take a couple of hours to visit the S.S. American Victory. Built in 55 days and launched in 1945, she hauled military cargo to the Philippines and China during WWII, and also served in Korea and Vietnam. She’s a floating museum and training ship for first responders now. The American Victory is one of three remaining Victory ships. Well worth the time!
Patton's Death

It may be a new book, but it’s an old conspiracy theory. It even inspired a suspense movie called Brass Target, released way back in 1978.

I’ve read alot on this subject, and although I voted “Yes it’s a conspiracy”…
I have to say that after all is said and done, after reviewing all the evidence, talking to all the players, and sifting through all the line items. The mostly likely truth is the official story. He died in a car accident.

Guys,
––I, too, have read extensively on General Patton (40+ books) and I agree with Gar and his wording of the matter.
“The most likely truth is the official story. He died in a car accident.”
––And not that it matters,…but my Dad who served in Patton’s 3rd Army in Europe during WW2, and a Patton fan himself, thinks he broke one of his own rules (speed limit) and died in a car accident.“Tall Paul”

He was a little to volatile and not good in some public opinions, They wanted him out of the way and they got their desired results.
I also think he was one of the great Generals of all time and to get there you would need to have a personality like the way his was developed. I think he was a great man and individual also, a lot of respect for the man.
“This is why we fight”
ps he also scared our enemies. -
Brad Meltzer’s show Decoded on the History Channel had an episode devoted to this topic. Its a good episode, if any of you get a chance watch it.
