My grandpa was an honor guard at this funeral. We have the original copy of the newspaper sent home to my great grandmother
Thanks for watching.
absolutly priceless!
Yw
A General among Generals, we owe him more than we can thought.
Thanks for watching.
I visited the great mans grave most sundays.As i worked in nearby Trier Germany.Just a short trip to Hamm.Iwas told Gen Patton wished to be buried amongst his men. A wish he got.But later had to be buried at the head of his men due to the amount of visitors to his gravesite.A truly beautiful resting place.🇺🇸
My father Captain Rex S. Morgan Sr. was put in charge of Patton’s funeral. Dad was the Army’s Chief of Mortuaries in the European Theater during WW2. He and his men were responsible for establishing cemeteries on the continent including the Luxembourg American Cemetery where Patton is buried. General Robert Littlejohn, Chief Quartermaster of the ETO and a close friend of Patton’s, called upon my father to organize Patton’s funeral. Dad went to Paris and picked out the best casket available. He personally prepared the general’s body for burial, dressing him in his beribboned Army jacket. (If you look in Patton’s pocket today you’ll find my father’s business card.) Dad appears several times in these news reels, notably walking in front of the casket as the pallbearers exit Villa Reima and walking behind the casket as it was carried to the gravesite. Hard to imagine but he had all that responsibility at the tender age of 24. Ten months later Dad attended the Nuremberg hangings and was charged with cremating and disposing of the remains of the top Nazis executed there. Hermann Goering & Co. had a much less distinguished send-off than General Patton to say the least. That’s a big story for another day.
Thanks for your story, this is all very interesting. Happy New Year
Respect à cet homme hors du commun...
@@fnehwhee Thank you, interesting…Oddly,many People: served with Dedications, in all kinds Duties…..Maybe a Story to Pass on, to Us.
Thank you for sharing
We need men like General Patton today. He was a great leader. I wasn't born until 1948 but enjoyed studying history and WWII was my favorite. I worked with a lot of men who had fought in WWII and they were true patriots. Most men and women who were in WWII have passed on with few remaining. Appreciated your film on General Patton's funeral.
For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.
George Patton
Thanks for watching.
Get serious dude. This is 2024. War is hell and getting worse as civilians now slaughtered on purpose to break moral. To glorify the violence of war is wrong. I know. Been there, done that.
General Patton was a great General! The 761st Tank Battalion was a highly decorated black Battalion. They fought valiantly alongside General Patton at his request. They fought at the battle of the Bulge and numerous other military campaigns. From a proud Vietnam Era vet and proud American Legionnaire! 😊💯👍💪
The 761st saved the bacon of many 17th ABN soldiers! My uncle Paul included!

He wanted to be with his men...that's truly where he belonged...may they rest in peace.
Thanks for watching.
As a nation, WE we're fortunate to have General Patton during WWII. He might've been too hard, at times, but he delivered to his troops, which he cared deeply for, and his commitment to the war effort was truly remarkable. He was a true soldier and a great general.
Thanks for your comments
There's no such thing as "too hard" in war. That's why we haven't won a war since. We're too afraid of what someone will say if we're "too hard". And don't say we won Desert Storm because it wasn't a war. It was a battle we won, but we didn't finish the war because they said we were "too hard" on the Highway of Death.
Remember Folks, WAR IS HELL!
One of Patton's men years later said "Yes, he was a hard taskmaster because he wanted no slip-ups. It's those slip-ups that get you killed!"
The Greatest General in our Modern Day History. You will always be remembered General Patton!
Thanks for watching

Patton spoke the truth, but we didn't listen. Look at us now. ....... patron would slap us all. God rest your Soul. Job well done.
Amen
Could you image what he would think of today's kids and them being so sensitive to their feelings. This guys was one of the greatest generals of all times and like you said, if we would have listened to him we would not have the issues we have with Communism today I believe. I will leave you with these words.....Rommel.....you magnificent son of a bitch......I READ YOUR BOOK! LOL May he rest in peace
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching.
Not always. I saw on the internet where he gave an order to take no Italian prisoners on a battalion of new green American soldiers. He wanted to battle harden them to combat . It's true.
Patton was a real hero who I respect so much they don’t make them like that anymore . We owe him and people like him so much...
Thanks for watching.
My grandmother was a Patton, somewhere down the line I'm related to Gen. Patton
Thanks for watching.
They 'took him out' because he talked the truth. RIP Mr Patton.
Thanks for watching.
His death was an accident.
He talked too much about fighting the Russians while we got the Army to do it,and we wont have to do it later on down the road,turns out,he was right!
RIP

(1885-1945)
Patton deserves to be in Arlington.
Nah, he’s with his boys..... he belongs in Luxembourg
@@rosaamarillo2110 good point.
He wanted to be with his men 🇺🇸
Thanks for watching.
Had he lived past January 1st 1946 he most likely would have been, either Arlington or the West Point Cemetery, an equally honorable place. 1/1/1946 was the cut-off date for burials in American cemeterys in Europe, soldiers who died after that date were to be returned home. In fact there were plans to fly Patton home for treatment in Walter Reed Army Hospital but he died before the plans came to fruition.
It’s very strange how Patton died the way he did , and when he did
Thanks for watching.
He died of pneumonia.
I don't believe the "accident" theory.
There were two other attempts on his life right before that...
one with a cart that almost killed him in the street... (it rolled towards him and he had to dodge it)
I believe the other was a shot that came out of nowhere and almost got him.
Question is...
Who ?
Russians were his enemies...
The German "Werewolf" unit (whom were saboteurs and assassins) were still very active around that time getting revenge hits on various targets.
Or...
A political move?
@Irredeemable Deplorable Covfefe , I think so to
@@d0nKsTaH Patton was strongly anti-Soviet and communism. Killing him was a political move by Eisenhower and gang.
Warrior...controversial...dedicated soldier...professional with all his guts...rest in peace general patton...

It's an honor that I share the same month and day (birthday) as he 11/11/ of course I'm younger but I also lived during the early 40's too. I like to think back my playing soldier and wonder what he was doing that day. RIP sir!

George C. Scott played George S. PATTON VERY WELL. MAY THEY BOTH R I P.🙏
Thanks for watching.
George C Scott was scarily good as Patton.
He was too young to die after surviving and helping to win 2 wars.
Maybe it was best for him to go then because I don't think he could take being a Warrior without a War
Thanks for watching.
He's a hero of American!
Thanks for watching.
Seems like his death was timely, he fought one of the most bitter conflict in human history, nothing more in his life was to be done but to lay to rest with the men he commanded...RIP Patton

@@chuyiturralde2479 buena noche,
Para que tengas una breve sinopsis de lo que ocurrió con este hombre ejemplar, teclea en tu buscador:
el asesino del general patton confiesa
G. PATTON, entendió que el enemigo jamás fue Adolf Hitler y el Nacional socialismo alemán, sino el comunismo bolchevique judío.
Si el tema te interesa, te recomiendo leer el libro de revisionismo historico DERROTA MUNDIAL, escrito por el mexicano Salvador Borrego Escalante.
@@franciscowachauf73 lo mismo están haciendo con trump !!
No estoy de acuerdo con esa premisa. Primero, no hay ni un cintillo de evidencia de que Patton fuera asesinado y número dos la Unión Soviética era nuestro aliado y su gesta fue determinante en derrotar al nazismo criminal. Los militares no tienen ningún derecho de inmiscuirse en política. El general Patton era un gran estratega militar pero en geopolítica era un total ignorante.
The African American soldier in the pall bearer position was Patton's personal orderly for many years...
Thanks for watching.
MSG William George Meeks...... the film made him out to be just another soldier...
MSG was devoted to the General and was sometimes a good personal advisor when General let fly his famous temper. A soothing and calming influence he was and loyal ( a trait the Gen admired the most) to serving him. Great men have great associates and confidants.
Thank you for sharing that bit of info. I would’ve never thought, especially in those times and the war, that would be even accepted or tolerated.
@@SsecnirpNamdor some of the bravest acts in WW2 came from blacks, native americans and japanese Americans. Most famous were the Tuskegee airmen - squadron of Af Am pilots who blew away the Luftwaffe in the air. Others were native American radio operators n wind whisperers who could hear enemy whispers n know their locations. A Japanese American brigade fought in Italy and were fearless warriors with tons of medals. WW2 showed the rest of the world that all races showed great bravery and courage and took lot of casualties too. But didn't get as many medals or recognitions
Seeing the Russian threat cost him his life,truly a historical General, brave ,driven focused on the enemy's of our beloved
Nation America.
R.I.P.
Thanks for watching.
Ya, if Patton came back to life, there would be a few faces slapped!
Thanks for watching.
@ No, but he would slap your parents faces, thats for sure. PS emojis are the sure sign of mental incompetence
@ If you're going to try and use the memory of this great man as a way to troll Trump supporters, maybe you should speak The Kings English, as opposed to using emojis like a 12 year old little girl.
Ya think!
Thanks for sharing! A very dark day in our national history. Let’s hope that one the forts to be renamed will bear his name.
I think that the tanks would be have the name Patton not Abrams , because general Patton he is been the best general of tanks in WW ll
Thanks for watching.
Yes,patton tanks , we re. Used in Vietnam? I think
@Mr and Mrs. Smith yes I know that, but I would have preferred that they had given his name to the most powerful tank in the army of the United States of America! because Patton was the most experienced commander and the best at waging tanks! remember the third army and what it did in the second world war!
@@lucacapozzi6972 When the M48 came out it WAS the most powerful tank the in US military......DOH!!!
we had one, the M-48 Patton Tank.
He was a brave man, but his death was a sad accident. My maternal grandfather fought under John J. Pershing in WWI & in WWII he fought with Patton then with a different General. Pop loved Pershing. He thought Patton was a God & liked DeGaulle, but had no liking for the British General Montgomery. Why, I don't know.

@@ScaleModelKitReview You're welcome!!
My father is 99 and is in his last days. Did over 60 missions in the air corps. Said most U S. Soldiers could not stand the British because they were more worried about being proper and right all the time and marching for show than listening to reason. Said their attitude cost alot of unnecessary casualties among everyone, including their own.
I just lost my late father's first cousin (and wife 48 hrs before), who is been close to for 38 yrs. He was four months shy of 98 and served as a paratrooper in the Pacific, landing on and helping to retake Corregidor Island in Manila Bay. He was wounded in the process. I wish I could've a lot more of these guys, esp Patton.
My first awareness of Gen Patton was through the George C Scott's portrayal of him in the blockbuster "Patton". Since then I must have seen that movie over 25 times. He became my idol and read all books about him, his persona and his only motto - in war you take the battle to the enemy, there is no word called Retreat! Gen Patton was dead right about phony generals and great pretenders, and 150% correct about the threat of Communism to post WW2 world. I salute you General almost every other day for being the only TRUE soldier and patriot of WW2. May you rest in peace. You will be back on earth again as a leader and a General engaging in battle! Amen
Thanks for watching and your comments.

General Patton was a war general, not a peacetime general and even less a politician general, it is sad to say but he died at the right time. He would never have been able to adapt to life after the war. He died at the peak of his glory. RIP General!
Thanks for watching.
I salut a man dedicated his life to his profession, country and the world.

I dont see Eisenhower in of these scenes of Pattons funeral.
I have read that Eisenhower tried to attend but the weather was too bad for his plane to land
dmc0942 Patton stood upfront with his soldiers Ike on the other hand stayed in the back. Patton was murdered! He knew who the real enemy was.
Thanks for watching
Thanks.
@ Jim Foster. Understandably, Patton's widow Beatrice Patton would not allow Gen. Eisenhower or Gen. Bedell Smith to visit Patton in the hospital in Heidelberg , Germany.
When the Pentagon comes to it's senses, it needs to award this best, most excellent, NO nonsense, United States Army Combat Commanding Officer, the highest coveted rank of Field Marshall, posthumously to George S. Patton Jr.
Thanks for watching.
@ Conrad Sunkiojack The United States Army has NO such rank as Field Marshall and NEITHER do any of the Armed Services of The United States. George S Patton Junior was still on Active Duty as a Four Star General when he died and was entitled to a Military Funeral and Burial with all of the rights and privileges afforded his Rank and Position. Furthermore, The Pentagon and each of the service chiefs together with their staff officers make recommendations to the President and The Congress for promotions to various grades and positions based upon the Rule of Law and Regulations within the Military.

En la primera guerra mundial tambien llamada la gran guerra a un simple oficial se le dio el mando de la primera division blindada por no la consideraron viable y porque queria que fracasase para seguir con los metodos tradicionales, Pero este joven oficial demostraria su valia y capacidad de mando ademas que la idea del tanque no solo es util sino que seria el futuro de la guerra lo que lo llevo a reconstruir el ejercito para que estuviera a la altura de los estandartes modernos comenzando un carrera que lo consagraria como una leyenda hoy dia
Tal fue el impacto que provoco el general patton que en su funeral habian soldados y oficiales tanto aliados como enemigo e incluso sovieticos ,despidiendo al hombre que hizo lo imposible derrotar al ejercito nazi en su propio juego la guerra relampago a su manera
lo peor fue quien dio la orden de matarlo se arrepentiria luego por que al final el general tenia razon sobre los rusos y las armas nucleares. Ademas en las (2) dos guerra venideras LA DE KOREA Y VIETNAM lo iban a necesitar porque el era capaz de hacer que los soldado no solo peleen sino que ganen con todo en contra.
el mejor lider militar que hubo desde alejandro magno , julio cesar y u.s grant no habra otro como el carismatico , leal , valiente ,terco para rendirse, tenaz y lo principal hacia que los hombres fueran como el y aun mas lo que hacia que sus enemigos le temieran solo al nombrarlo y al final lo respetarna tanto que lo despidieron con honores militares.
Cumplio con la promesa hecha a su suegro, patton traeria honor , respeto y fama a la familia a cambio el suegro se encargaria de las finanzas y el bienestar de la misma mientras el general patton lucharia en europa
muchos dijeron que el final del general fue todo sorpresivo pero que tiene sentido los hombres que dirigio en vida lo haria tambien en la muerte , si el general invadiera el infierno sus hombres lo seguirian y de regreso. Ya que ningun comandante hacia lo que el luchaba , comia y dormia con sus soldados en el frente y asi saber de primera mano sus problemas y necesidades en la lucha , no como la gran mayoria de oficiales y generales que lo hacian a miles de kilometro detras de las tropas en una oficina tranquila y confortable
Asi veian al gran general el unico que sabia bien como se debia luchar donde y cuando ,Ademas de que fue el hombre que construyo al ejercito de ESTADOS UNIDOS desde nada para ser lo que es ahora
SALUDOS GENERAL
