zacharycat and anyone else: NOPE: German Army officer in WW2 apologized to non-commissioned officer Jewish American airman held as a POW in his POW camp in Germany after German NCO's physically assaulted and slapped this Jewish American. Heard directly from this former POW a long since retired Toronto Canadian doctor.
I suspect Patton may have had PTSD himself and felt a great deal of self-hatred towards himself and acted the way he did because he was attacking someone who reminded him of his own "weakness".
In real life this soldier was Shell shocked beyond belief, he could barely talk pissed his pants in bed etc, and Patton put a gun to his head yelled at him and slapped him. If anything, patton was the coward here.
Not sure about shellings, but after a while, you can get used to mortars. At one point, they didn't even wake me up. But when you where that uniform, you have a job to do. You need to focus on that or there's a good chance you won't make it home. Everything else comes later.
I'm not sure how to feel about this. On one hand, the kid could be a coward, or he could have PTSD. Patton's problem was he was a hard ass and expected everyone else to be.
wow. thats unreal. fucking dick he should be on the frontline not sitting in his tent with his cup of tea. fuck thats just not right. right there i would have took out my pistol out at shot him in the knee for even saying that.
That's no way to treat a traumatized soldier! He should know better than that! The poor young soldier could've gotten counseling. The rest of the others looked at Patton like, "What the hey?!"
@6400loser true but at the same time, if it wasent for his viciousness an pushing of the soilders, the war would have been alot longer...he was a war mastermind
U.S. Army was the only WW2 army where a general would apologize to an enlisted man. In the German or Russian army a soldier that wouldn't fight would just be shot.
In the Simpsons episode "Bart the General" they did an homage to this scene, to which Grandpa Simpson tells him. "Sorry Bart, you can bust him out of a plane, you can march him to his death, you can send him off to die on some Godforsaken rock, but for some reason you can't slap him. Apologize to that boy."
Patton later apologized to the Private (who actually had malaria) he didn't know he was that sick. Even the Private said Patton was a respectful man, an outstanding general and a great human being.
Yes, there is battle fatigue, PTSD, etc. This is a very raw scene, and my take on it, and I think George C. Scott captures it well, is the extreme regret Patton shows at the very end of this clip. He himself is under a very great strain at this point and quite simply has "snapped." Imperfect has a human yet still a great general. Just like Douglas MacArthur, a "high--maintenance individual" but a great man. Different as night/day, both won VERY tough battles with low casualties compared w/peers.
I despise war; but there is nothing that brings out the evil and the GLORY in mankind like war. I dream of a day when thinking loving reasoning courageous men can do great things without the hatred death and madness of fear and conflict. Be brave enough to act out of reason instead of necessity and dread. Patton was a man of and for his time. The world would be a very different place today if not for men of his strength harshness and courage. His men both loved and despised him.
And you know, he did whatever he had to do. We had to win that war. When it gets tough, you don't stop. You keep going. So when things are getting tough, people want their hand to get held. That's not how things work. If it gets tough, YOU HANDLE IT!! Nobody is there to baby you! End of story.
This world isn't made for puss***. You have to hold your own weight.
Our whole government has been babying the people for too long. If Patton were here today he'd clean out congress and the halls of government. Then he'd proceed to straighten out the citizens. Make the women women, the men men. Return us to our roots of responsibility and sacrifice. People don't know how to be strong anymore. They don't know how to depend on themselves and could care less about the rest of the world. Too concerned with their own selfish hunger.
@gukonni its beyond sick...america now, is a bunch of spinless pussies who would rather have handouts then feel the honor of working for what they want...i wish patton was alive, one to straighten usa out old school, two, because he wasent affraid to be honest, no sugar coated bullshit,..
@KJT922010T He actually slapped two soldiers on two seperate occaisons. Private Charles H Khul was suffering for battle fatigue and when he told Patton that he wasn't wounded by the stress of combat was getting to him Patton slapped him, grabbed him be the colar and dragged him towards the tent entranch, shoved him out th tent then kicked him, demanded he be refused admission to the first aid tent, order Khul back to the front and berated him once more after visiting the other soldiers.
@KJT922010T The famous case was of Patton slapping Kuhl but seven days later he would repeat these action against Private Paul Bennett.
The press circulated these stories amungst the Allies - only the 8th Army censored the reports on Montgomery's orders - and called for Patton to be sacked. Eisenhower ordered Patton to appologize which he did but he never recieved another promotion again.
Patton was right to slap him. Do you think the germans would stop shooting and fighting because one of our boys had "shell shock"? HELL NO!! It's a war, there is no time for losing it, it could mean your life or worse your friend's.
@kill3456 Beyond his light tank experiences during WWI, what kind of action as he seen anywhere near being comparable to what these men did? He's a nasty person. He got his job done, and he did it damn well, but it makes me think no greater of him.
His racism, and desire for battle far outweigh the good in his character.
@carl5192 "Individually they were good soldiers, but I expressed my belief at the time, and have never found the necessity of changing it, that a colored soldier cannot think fast enough to fight in armor."
@carl5192 "The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinese or a Japanese, and from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. "
@MsNiceneasy1 Well said! Gutless swine. General Patton was COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED in slapping that soldier.....hell that soldier in lucky thats all General Patton did to him has slap.
@MsNiceneasy1 Yeah, ok, so just cause I dont worship at the shrine of Patton means I'm jealous of him and delusional? Cause we all know Patton was perfect and never made a single mistake in his life...
Skaterock7734 ur probly a Muslim or American with a grudge against the world probly end up shooting into a crowd either way but ur judging the man on one since from a movie if u knew history u would understand and forgive him for it
It's true, Patton actually slapped two soldiers within a couple of weeks.
By the way, Patton was unquestionably one of the greatest generals who ever lived and was by far the most feared and respected allied general by the Germans. Anyone who suggest otherwise has no knowledge of history.
Unlike almost every other allied general, he was constantly at the front lines and visiting field hospitals. He was nearly killed numerous times because he was constantly putting himself in danger.
Look at all these pussys on here "patton needs to gtfo, hes so horrible, thats not ethical" Shut the fuck up you faggots the U.S. is going soft i wish i would have lived back in the 30s and 40s this country is going to fall with all the god damn bitches now adays.
@aallppiinnee You don't think he slap that fag bush's ass. He was hardcore he wouldn't work for pussy ass old man that act tough because they hide behind a goddamn army. In the old days a real leader would have the balls be on those front line with his men not hide in some chicken shit white house behind a trillon guards. All the politicians you like would not last one minute in a cage match fight, because they are weak sons of bitches. We need new leaders like this, platton slap this guys ass!
Most over-rated general in history. He never once defeated an enemy against superior forces. In point of fact, he slapped two soldiers. One was a scared young kid, but the other was a veteran of many battles who'd finally reached his breaking point.
Still, as much as it was BS from a history standpoint, the movie was fine entertainment.
@BenAliGtor Evidently, you appear to get your history from watching a movie which is based on facts along with entertainment. Before you assess General Patton as over-rated, go and read books from historians and people who served under him. That might change your perception.
@warfighter7316 Patton is overrated. He's treated as if he were a general of equal skill to the likes of Napoleon when Patton never achieved a fraction of what he did & never even proved himself to be better than his contemporaries. Patch & Truscott were every bit as good as him, if not better, Simpson was steadier than he was & had more consistancy, Patton - the maverick - had moments of greatness interspersed with moments of incompetance, that's why he was never more than an Army commander.
I think that is the point of the movie... He never had the chance to succeed in total and the movie recognized it. He would have lit Berlin on fire if allowed to. Instead, he had to wait on the Brits and be patient, which was totally against his ways. He could have been the greatest of all time, and that is what the movie points at
@xxxPOOPBANDITxxx He never had to "wait for the Brits". Eisenhower gave Bradley & 12th Army Group full authority to press on as far & as fast into central Europe as they could regardless of the action of 21st Army Group or the British. Patton ignored logistics & lost the ability to maintain his advance when he ran out of feul before the Mosselle River then made a mess of advancing on Metz. He never had fuel taken away from him to support the MARKET GARDEN, Eisenhower failed to enforce that.
@xxxPOOPBANDITxxx The loss of supplies along the Sigfried Line was a byproduct of Eisenhower's "advance on all fronts" Broad-Front approach to strategy. Eisenhower failed to decide what goal was the most important to the Allies, which advance was most important to the Allies and which advance to support fully. There were good arguments for supporting 21st, 12 and 6th Army Groups respectively but Eisenhower tried to please everyone, dispersed his focus and weakened his own position.
@xxxPOOPBANDITxxx I serious doubt Patton could have been the greatest general of all time. Can you honestly look at the Lorraine Campaign and the series of bad decisions and poor command performance from him there and tell me that only reason Patton wasn't the greatest ever was because he was held back? Or say for that matter that his terrible performance before Brest was anything other a bad performance of an overfident man?
@11nytram11 GENERAL patton lead the 3rd army faster an further than any in history, he was a vicious war mastermind who loved his soilders and pushed them to victory, do u honestly know his story? yes napolean, patch an them are just as good as leaders, but they had no were near as much drive an guts an respect as patton..he play an enormous role in winning the war..
@meghan216egg <<== Another childish American who conveniently overlooks the fact that for every German casualty suffered on the Western front, 19 were suffered on the Eastern front. And again: in what battle did George S. Patton Jr. ever singularly earn victory against superior forces?
@meghan216egg Sorry? Your seriously saying that Patton had more drive, guts and commanded more respect than Napoleon Bonaparte, the victor of Austerlitz, the man who ran roughshot over Europe for the better part of a decade. What planet are you on. Only the blindest Patton fanboys ever claim he an equal of Napoleon, Patton does not have anywhere near enough victories or successful campaigns to his name to even compare to Napoleon, let alone be considered superior to him in any way
@meghan216egg Patton was no mastermind. The only directive Patton ever operated under was "Go hell for leather forward, never take a step back and kill the SOB that your fighting". He was good enough tactically at maneuver warfare to get away with this but as far as masterminding the victory for the Western Allies went Bradley, Devers, Montgomery and Eisenhower played a vastly superior part.
@meghan216egg Some of his soldiers loved him, some respected him, some despised him. His nickname was "Old Blood and Guts" and some of his 3rd Army uncharitably said "His guts, Our blood." He was not universally liked by the military, soldiers to generals, and the US High Command thought him a loose canon who was not to be trusted with anything higher than Army Command.
@meghan216egg Of course Patton contibuted to winning the war, I dont deny that, but was not so modern day God of War who could do no wrong & always being held back. He was an eccentric maverick who could be brilliant one day & incompetant the next, he had a good & bad days & he had good&bad attributes. I have never understood why some people try to turn him into a Marble Man. He made mistakes but he learnt from them & that, to me, more admirable than never making a single mistake.
@11nytram11 well i guess at least part of the story is that Patton was a "blue blood" of high birth and had all the "noble knight" morals in his mind. In a way his psychological status was really distant from his working class soldiers. But sometimes this character also had its unique daring charm which won him the battles
The Germans were shocked as shit when they found out Patton got suspended for slapping the shit out of a soldier. The General staff of the German army would have been more of Patton's pace then the civilian controlled military leadership of the USA.
Oh man... Patton and Rommel working together.... They'd have shot Hitler, taken england, and hammered the shit outta the soviets for the next twenty odd years.
Attention! At ease. Now I want you to remember that no poor bastard ever beat a troll by arguing with it. He won it, by simply ignoring the troll on all costs. The trolls are the enemy! Wade into them! Ignore them! Defend the people they attack! If you see your fellow user being harassed by a troll...you'll know what to do. Now I am proud to share this internet with you wonderful guys. That is all. Dismissed.
Its better than having been a Red Army soldier during the war. If you showed cowardice or were a 'panic monger', NKVD agents would immediately shoot you dead, even at the front line.
BACK TO THE FRONT!!!...Serve your country....Cry but not now...Harden your shell...Men injured known battle...A man knows his role...A MAN WINS NOT ALONE...A MAN WINS IN FOLLOWING HIS DESTINY...A MAN WINS WHEN HES DOWN AND GETS UP TO FIGHT AGAIN....a man who gives up,loses his country...a man who falls in battle,shall be my hero,,my family,MY VOICE TO SAY I HAVE A RIGHT TO VOTE TO CHOOSE....a man who gives up a fight for right gives up his right to call freedom entitled
Patton was a great general. And a price for that, can be to do the wrong thing, to ensure victories.
The scene shown is based on a habit of his. He is known to attack his soldiers for such things as having dysentery and malaria. Having served in the army, it is commonly accepted that if one incident becomes public, there were many more like it.
As to try to call things by our current labels... Consider if Patton had PTSD, and was aggressive because of flashbacks?
@UStheFA Actually, you have NO clue what you are talking about. Private Charles Kuhl stated himself that it was "his nerves" and in fact, his version of the events, word for word, are almost exactly what appeared in this movie.
All other American generals on the front line had been given reports of men faking mental and physical illness to avoid combat. Patton had recently heard of this when this slapping incident occurred. Doctors were unable to find anything wrong with this soldier other than his emotional distress upon admission to the field hospital. It was until weeks later that it was determined that he had Malaria.
I guess the kid had shell shock or whatever they go thought at the front. i think if i saw all my friends blow to bits with their brains hanging out i think that i would crack up. cheers people.
Patton was one of the best field generals this nation ever produced. However, that being said, there is no excuse for hitting or slapping a shell-shocked soldier.
@gheldmann You need a smack like that in reality. Grow up he was the best generals in USA history and he did the best job than any other general so fuck off. XD
@gheldmann, Oh my God, the soldier has PTSD. Do you even know what the hell that is? Slapping a soldier who has it is completely unforgivable. Yes, Patton was a great general, (Eisenhower more so) but there is NO BARKING EXCUSE. I'm done, so you can tell me to grow up all you want, just know who more emotionally mature.
@gheldmann My uncle fought in vietnam. In one of his many missions he was sent to defend a hill against communist. Ever single man in his unit died except for him. They then sent in more soilders to his unit and they all died again except for my uncle. He was in many missions where many of his fellow soilders were courageously K.I.A. He now has a Silver Star, 2 Bronze Stars and a Soilder's Medal. and guess what he doesnt suffer from PTSD. PTSD is for pussy's that decided to have feelings in war.
@minniHOLA Then we'll send your ass to war and see how much of a pussy you are. Losing humanity is never worth it, and your uncle must've had an iron will. Everyone should respect that. But you gotta show respect to everyone risking their lives for you so you can bad mouth them on youtube. Shame on you.
@minniHOLA PTSD has been proven to sometimes have more to do with the unit, than the war itself.
Also when is it right to have feelings? Since the P stands for POST, according to you having feelings at all makes people pussies.
The fact is a lot of people are average. That your uncle could get over ALL problems of those people dying within THIRTY DAYS, either makes him incredible, or something else entirely.
Why don't you look up Romeo Dallaire, the man who saved tens of thousands of Rwandans during the 1994 genocide who also suffers PTSD, and then come back here and tell me people with PTSD are "pussies".
The soldier obviously had severe emotional problems and Prozac should have been prescribed. Slapping him was not the answer. The appropriate course of action would have been intensive psychotherapy and Prozac followed by a return to stateside duty as a massotherapist for WAC's.
When I was a kid if I cried my dad would quote this scene or Tom Hanks's "There's no crying in baseball." line from a League of Their Own to shut me up haha.
He actually slapped two enlisted men. One (depicted here) was a frightened kid. The other was a veteran of many campaigns who had simply reached his breaking point long after many other men would have.
Thank God America stripped the rights of all Non-White Americans and called crying faggots faggots to save America from the Nazis, Imperial Japanese, and Fascist Italians. A healthy military should be one type of person only, because when you are in the military, you should have no rights what so ever at all. The communists have pretty much won. The USA Military has pretty much been subverted. America needs to go back to it's subjective bigotry roots to save itself from tyranny some tough love
The fact remains that Patton was one of the best field generals not only for the US but the allies as well. He took it to Rommel and his Afrika Korps after they had pushed back the British Eighth Army.
Honestly, why are people defending Patton? Let's have you in that man's position and get slapped across the face and verbally assaulted. Probably doesn't feel too good, does it? This is what I mean when people can't say shit until they've actually been to war.
@SargentMugen yeah im sure YOU have been deployed "Sergeant" oh wait you spelled it Sargent....I guess your lack of knowledge of how military ranks are spelled really show that you are just some asshole poser...
@Rowhizzle I never said that I even went to war you dipshit. There's a reason I spelled it "Sargent" (inside joke). I'm just pointing out that most people who call this man a coward would not do any better.
Like someone realy wakes up and decides to go to russia to freeze their ass off. Yes I want to pursue the Great Russian dream. Russian leaders notoriously slaughtered their own citizens threwout history. For what is my question. Joseph Stalin a weak man that nobody tried to stand up to and oppose. If he hadn't of slaughtered leaders in the purges russia might have had a better military for ww2 and period.
@preemptivestrike20 I wouldn't brag about russian massive losses in ww2. To be honest Russia's military was a joke before ww2. Russia went to afghanistan before America and got the shit beat out of them by tribesman in caves. Atleast America can hold our own in two fronts. While your laughing at our economy soviet russia wen't broke trying to compete with America. Collaspe of the soviet union. I seriously doubt russia could have afford to keep losing millions of men in ww2.
The whole point of Patton is that he was an anachronism and someone who saw the world totally different than almost anyone else. that is why he was such a great character study.
@tma291 what is wrong with Patton here? That is how America won wars back in the day.. World Wars in a matter of just a few years.. Now look at the leaders today.. We are fighting wack jobs in caves wearing sandals and 50 year old weapons for the past 10 years... And no end in sight..
I don't think Patton understands that the individual soldier can only take so much until he's nerves and metal fitnes is gone. This is how the treated people during Vitnam and that is why America first lost and then had to deal with a lot of namvets with PTSD. You can't just slap a person brave and strong! True bravery and the ability to fight is selfmotivated!
hell yeah what he is doing is right there is defending the honor of the wounded soldiers who fought got shot lose a leg or arms or an eye. I mean that guy is basically fine crying in there althought he may had PTSD but shit I have seen guys with it and they are the most violent motherfuckers on this earth.
You know what Patton would've said if he knew about ADHD? He would tell you you're a dumbass who needs excuses to make you feel better about your nerves. ADHD isn't real, people need excuses for everything nowadays. Control your nerves and quit making excuses
If you're going to try and involve yourself in a conversation, at least use better English and know what the fuck you're talking about first. If you don't, well, you look a lot like you do now -- a dipshit.
@AstronautJ I have ADHD. Actually, I'm quite convinced it makes you much braver, at least in life-death situations. When I was younger, I would drive at speeds and make maneuvers that absolutely terrified my friends. I believe I read somewhere that most high end race car drivers have a degree of ADHD; the reason is that - in most cases we cannot focus, when in a dangerous situation, we are able to hyperfocus.
Gen. George S. Patton our greatest general was a man of honor and valor but what most people dont know is he had ADHD so me having ADHD myself and being a soldier he is one of my heroes
The truly great general of the 2nd world war was Marshall Georgi Zhukov. He stopped the Germans at Moscow, at Kharkov, at Stalingrad, at Kursk and he was there when the Red Army struck the Nazis their death blow. More respect should be shown to the Soviets for their turning the tide and winning the war. When you look at the scale of it the western front looks like a sideshow.
Actually a court marshall worthy move, but who the hell is going to tell him that.

It's true, Patton actually slapped two soldiers within a couple of weeks.
By the way, Patton was unquestionably one of the greatest generals who ever lived and was by far the most feared and respected allied general by the Germans. Anyone who suggest otherwise has no knowledge of history.
Unlike almost every other allied general, he was constantly at the front lines and visiting field hospitals. He was nearly killed numerous times because he was constantly putting himself in danger.

Most over-rated general in history. He never once defeated an enemy against superior forces. In point of fact, he slapped two soldiers. One was a scared young kid, but the other was a veteran of many battles who'd finally reached his breaking point.
Still, as much as it was BS from a history standpoint, the movie was fine entertainment.

@warfighter7316 Patton is overrated. He's treated as if he were a general of equal skill to the likes of Napoleon when Patton never achieved a fraction of what he did & never even proved himself to be better than his contemporaries. Patch & Truscott were every bit as good as him, if not better, Simpson was steadier than he was & had more consistancy, Patton - the maverick - had moments of greatness interspersed with moments of incompetance, that's why he was never more than an Army commander.

@11nytram11
I think that is the point of the movie... He never had the chance to succeed in total and the movie recognized it. He would have lit Berlin on fire if allowed to. Instead, he had to wait on the Brits and be patient, which was totally against his ways. He could have been the greatest of all time, and that is what the movie points at
xxxPOOPBANDITxxx 5 months ago
@xxxPOOPBANDITxxx He never had to "wait for the Brits". Eisenhower gave Bradley & 12th Army Group full authority to press on as far & as fast into central Europe as they could regardless of the action of 21st Army Group or the British. Patton ignored logistics & lost the ability to maintain his advance when he ran out of feul before the Mosselle River then made a mess of advancing on Metz. He never had fuel taken away from him to support the MARKET GARDEN, Eisenhower failed to enforce that.
11nytram11 5 months ago
@xxxPOOPBANDITxxx The loss of supplies along the Sigfried Line was a byproduct of Eisenhower's "advance on all fronts" Broad-Front approach to strategy. Eisenhower failed to decide what goal was the most important to the Allies, which advance was most important to the Allies and which advance to support fully. There were good arguments for supporting 21st, 12 and 6th Army Groups respectively but Eisenhower tried to please everyone, dispersed his focus and weakened his own position.
11nytram11 5 months ago
@xxxPOOPBANDITxxx I serious doubt Patton could have been the greatest general of all time. Can you honestly look at the Lorraine Campaign and the series of bad decisions and poor command performance from him there and tell me that only reason Patton wasn't the greatest ever was because he was held back? Or say for that matter that his terrible performance before Brest was anything other a bad performance of an overfident man?

@meghan216egg Patton was no mastermind. The only directive Patton ever operated under was "Go hell for leather forward, never take a step back and kill the SOB that your fighting". He was good enough tactically at maneuver warfare to get away with this but as far as masterminding the victory for the Western Allies went Bradley, Devers, Montgomery and Eisenhower played a vastly superior part.
11nytram11 2 months ago
@meghan216egg Some of his soldiers loved him, some respected him, some despised him. His nickname was "Old Blood and Guts" and some of his 3rd Army uncharitably said "His guts, Our blood." He was not universally liked by the military, soldiers to generals, and the US High Command thought him a loose canon who was not to be trusted with anything higher than Army Command.
11nytram11 2 months ago
@meghan216egg Of course Patton contibuted to winning the war, I dont deny that, but was not so modern day God of War who could do no wrong & always being held back. He was an eccentric maverick who could be brilliant one day & incompetant the next, he had a good & bad days & he had good&bad attributes. I have never understood why some people try to turn him into a Marble Man. He made mistakes but he learnt from them & that, to me, more admirable than never making a single mistake.

@11nytram11 well i guess at least part of the story is that Patton was a "blue blood" of high birth and had all the "noble knight" morals in his mind.

Patton was a great general. And a price for that, can be to do the wrong thing, to ensure victories.
The scene shown is based on a habit of his. He is known to attack his soldiers for such things as having dysentery and malaria. Having served in the army, it is commonly accepted that if one incident becomes public, there were many more like it.
As to try to call things by our current labels... Consider if Patton had PTSD, and was aggressive because of flashbacks?

All other American generals on the front line had been given reports of men faking mental and physical illness to avoid combat. Patton had recently heard of this when this slapping incident occurred. Doctors were unable to find anything wrong with this soldier other than his emotional distress upon admission to the field hospital. It was until weeks later that it was determined that he had Malaria.

The truly great general of the 2nd world war was Marshall Georgi Zhukov. He stopped the Germans at Moscow, at Kharkov, at Stalingrad, at Kursk and he was there when the Red Army struck the Nazis their death blow. More respect should be shown to the Soviets for their turning the tide and winning the war. When you look at the scale of it the western front looks like a sideshow.
