  • This track isn't called German Advance... It is called Winter March and the two tracks are very similar .

  • Rommel is the icon of a military commander. Not only did he love his job and was respected, he was damn good at it too. He was a true gentleman and would treat surrendered soldiers with the same care and respect he gave his own men. When you can find a man like Rommel, you know he will be the best at everything. It is a pity he died for attempting something good.

  • This isn't the music from this scene.

  • Patton was the better strategist, Montgomery was the better gentlemen, but Rommel was best at both.

  • @Bluehawk2008 Rommel ? Rommel loose the battle of North Africa , lost the battle of Normandy and you tell this for him ? JERK !

  • just love how theres no actual ww2 tanks in the movie

  • @THIRDSHOCKARMY considering the only functioning tiger tank is in England...and it was only restored a few years ago, we should be grateful that they at least illustrated that the germans had bigger tanks. seriously, if you want to shoot a WW2 film with semi-accurate equipment, go to israel, eastern Europe, or spain. you may get lucky. 

  • @Soundwave3591 or just take a t-55 frame(or at least i think they use that)and model a tiger tanks frame on top of it.

  • @THIRDSHOCKARMY those are expensive, and more common in Eastern Europe, where the Soviet style filmmaking made expense irrelelvant.

  • For one thing we have to be gratfull that Hitler was busy reading tea leaves and thought of him self as better versed in war fare than his own general staff.

    The Barvarian copral who would ne a field Mashal. Next,Otto Von Bismark warned,you never fight on more than one front,this was lost on the Kaiser and Hitler,this we have to be thankfull about.

    Just looking at it from a different point of view,say D day came and there was no Russian front,no North Africa,no Italian front, then what?

  • OMG at the beginning patton is fighting patton tanks;)

  • The original arrangement (from the Tsunami bootleg CD) was more powerful and kinetic. This is the re-recording from the 'Patton/Tora Tora Tora' CD. One of Goldsmith's very best scores and very potent music, even if the entire score is only about 30 minutes long in a 2 and one half hour long film.

  • yep was a great iconic leader and lead by example never to be forgotten many thanks from a grateful brit

  • Only 6 Germans have watched this video !

  • @RJM1011 and i am from austria! and i like this theme!

  • 0:34 i thought the CoD3 theme (Falaise Gap) would start... this is true music.

  • I read a note,Rommel was run out by Patton. He was not,he was not even in Africa when Patton attacked,nor did he play a major (if any part) in southern Italy.

    He was wounded by one of our fighters and was in hospital. Then had a part in D day but by that time he was more interested in getting rid of Hitler.

    His son was mayor of Suttgart

  • Something of iterest for you. The name Patton is (Anglo) as in Anglo Saxon. Yes,Patton was an Anglo--a German people that invaded England,the languge they spoke was (Anglic to some,Englic to others and still spoken in Germany know as (Fisian) old German from the eighth to sixteenth century. Patton is found in Scotland but,Anglos invaded there as well while most found in Northumberland England. So,in short,German fought German,interesting yes?

    What we speak is a variation of Anglic -German

  • Allen West,Patton reborn? If so I hope he is in our army. But look at the wars fought now,people who dress as civilans so you cant tell who they are,an enemy that will not stand and fight but,hides?

  • My Uncle was in Pattons third army,it was a mess at the bulge,Germans worn out,only the black shirts had food and ammo(waffen s s). One thing I want to point out,Rommel was in the group to kill Hitler off,he was a great leader as was Patton.

    I can write a book on this subject,no room for it. In one coment,the Volkssturm was not untill the Russians were at the gate and,the Americans were at the Rhine,were they pressed into service,a last ditch fight that had no chance

  • @Terry9624 Rommel was not part of the Valkyrie plot. He wasn't involved in planning the operation, and likely would have opposed it, had Stauffenberg approached him. What brought Hitler's suspicion on Rommel was that he was fairly friendly with men who were in the plot. One of his subordinates, Gen von Stulpnagel muttered Rommel's name in delierium and another man implicated Rommel after being tortured by the Gestapo. No proof, however exists that Rommel knew of the plot.

  • Send Patton the the east and give him free hand. Sorry others like him are not around any more

  • @Terry9624 sir I would like to introduce to you Allen West..the reincarnation of Patton that may save this nation soon..

  • Makes you want to stamp on that C**T Gaddafi ?

  • Makes you wanna go out and kick someone's ass

  • @rawdawg15 In the snow, no less.

  • My father was running a jeep show with Billy Wilder, Chester Morris - the guy who played Boston Blackie on the Radio, and Mickey Rooney, who had just replaced Ernie Kovacs, when he began the march from Arlon to Bastogne. Rooney went back to America, but Wilder, of recent German extraction and Chester Morris stayed with dad, got guns and went with Patton. Rooney was no coward.. but he sure wasn't a hero, either. Not like Kovacs, who was with another jeep unit, or Morris, or Wilder. Or dad.

  • Rommel was a better with tactics

  • @iceblue345 ORLY?

    Then Explain how patton was able to not only route rommel out of africa, but clear out of Scily.

    Or how Patton was able to take occupied morocco by suprise and easily liberate it.

  • @lgmmrm Rommel was understaffed and undersupplied for one thing. Hitler was throwing all his resources at the Eastern Front and never really saw the fighting in Africa as important. I'm not really trying to argue that Rommel was better, just pointing out other factors. Anyway, even Patton would agree that Rommel was at least among the most brilliant generals of the war.

  • @lgmmrm

    hm. mightve been because the americans had freshly entered the war fought an enemy that did so since 1939 and was mainly fighting the russians, had scarcely any ressources, overwhelming firepoweragainst him and still the allies crawled along painfully slow through italy. but with such overwhelming odds against somebody you just open a third front and congratulate yourself on your cunning.

  • @iceblue345 true but Patton took risk that not even Rommel would do and Patton saw him self as a general of old and Often led from the very front.

    what Made Patton amazing was he could tell you times and dates of battles through history and how and why to the T all in his head.

  • Patton tanks in a movie about patton. How ironic.

  • @m1productions2 ya.. in the 1960's it was hard to get Sherman tanks and such in movies. movie was filmed in Spain. so everything you see is Spanish Military.

  • A true clash of Titans! The Germans needed a worthy opponent, and they certainly got that from the Western Allies. With their backs to the wall, they still chose to throw themselves into the Ardennes forest, for Germany or death! It's ashamed they didn't all fight the real enemy...Stalin's communism.

  • Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!

  • @AmericanRover Yep.

  • This sounds like a rendition to call of duty 3s menu theme

  • LOL how ironic...Patton tanks made to look like panzer division tanks running over their own men. Watched this movie, it was great, loved it. A definite must for any history buff.

  • those were american tanks..not mk ii's or iv's or tigers......sieg heil

  • Comment removed

  • loved this movie!

    everything in this movie is true the the real stuff!

  • if patton was your best it explains a lot about the americans needing ovewelming force for almost any success. most of the time he was against the old men and boys of the volksstrum or the shattered veterans of the eastern front who had to sweat every round of ammunition or liter of fuel.

  • @ufelcher Patton was not our best because we had an ovewhelming force. North Africa, before Patton was put in charge, proved that we did not. Patton believed, as every real American does, that you make an overwhelming force and then apply it. The First and Third armies under Patton's command killed, captured or wounded 1.8 million enemies in WWII.

    The "old men and boys" you refer to were not pulled in until Eisenhower swept across cowardly France.

  • @TheLogicalPositivist what was the average age of a soldier in the 12ss Panzer? patton made his reputation filling vacuums not overcoming viable organized opposition

  • @ufelcher I can understand that, as an Argentinian, you naturally have sympathy for Nazis and a reactionary hatred toward the United States. But to claim that the most successful and aggressive ground commander of WWII and world history did so by usurping teenagers and vacuums is absurd.

  • @ufelcher The brilliant Field Marshall Gerd Von Rundstedt said, without hesitation, that "Patton was your best." Stalin, in a stunning appraisal, declared that "The Red Army could not have conceived and certainly could not have executed the advance made by the Third Army across France."

    There seems to be quite a remarkable difference of opinion between you and Patton's enemies who had actual first-hand knowledge of his strategic genius.

  • @TheLogicalPositivist americsa best still would sit on the bench in the Wehrmacht. russians always had trouble in pursuits largely due to how they employed mobile forces and having to face competent opposition without air domanance. any idiot would have done well cgiven his resources and lack of opposition

  • there is evidence that one of the french battalions served better at the end of the war thinking Patton was in command, than they did when their french commanders were in charge.

    at least thats what history records.

  • patton was always gifted with overwelming superiority and a blank check regarding losses. he may have made third string in the Wehrmacht

  • @ufelcher Patton was in his 60's during the battle of the bulge. He was set apart from the rest of his class by about 2 decades. Most generals of that time were at least 20 years younger. His wife said he woke up once and wouldn't get out of bed, because he believed he had lost his opportunity for the battle. She had to persuade him that Bonaparte was really old or something and that got him out of bed.

    They say Patton had visions of old roman armies at battlegrounds. The man was supernatural.

  • @togowack still a third stringer in the Wehrmacht league

  • @ufelcher Patton didn't fit in anyones league

    the guy was immortal

  • @togowack he never was outnumbered, was almostly always well supplied, given command of the air and never had to deal with wildly unrealistic expectations of a supreeme commander. can you say any of this about a German general?

  • @ufelcher the germans had superior machines, such as the assault rifle, and while they didn't have air power, Patton was often out of gas.

    neither of these factors or any others really mattered considering he did most of his fighting in weather so bad neither side had an advantage. except he did because he was on the attack.

  • @togowack he never did anything but over run greatly weekened opposition with superior numbers. his tactical ability was on the par with the average russian.

  • @ufelcher military experts say you need an overwhelming force to overrun defended positions. There are many tactical arguments here, but the truth of the matter is that if you love reading history, and unless you are a liar, you will have to admit the Germans were scared shitless of Patton at all times. They knew he was over and above all other allied commanders Russians included that they would meet on the field.

  • @togowack the Wehrmacht proved on countless occaisions that overwhelming force was not needed. his overwhelming and in exhaustable resources were the cause of any dread. his only tactical daring was that botched attempt at recovering his son in law

  • @ufelcher all the germans really succeeded at was avoiding the maggot french line by going around it. Other than that they usually attacked a foe who was taken almost by complete surprise. Their only head on battles were against the Americans and the Soviets. The battle of the bulge shows us that the Germans and americans were roughly on par when it came to tactics. Only Patton was the only general to see it coming and have prepared contingencies for it.

  • @togowack too many instances of superior German preformance to list such as north africa, karkhov,kursk, cassino, market garden all while being outnumbered. patton was simply able to obilterate his opposition with numbers. check out duprys "a genius for war" by a west pointer for an unbiased account.

  • @ufelcher there is no such thing as an ubiased account. The fact you think there is means you haven't really heard both sides. Superior performance is one issue, but the thoughts of the commanding general another entirely. Mostly because generals had to foresee the game of war several moves a head and know what their enemies were thinking. Patton excelled at this. His training and tactics may have been on par with Germany and his equipment better, but they feared him for reasons other than that

  • @ufelcher - That's bullshit. Stalin was even quoted as saying: "the Red Army could neither have planned nor executed Patton's advance across France."

  • @broadjumper1 given what was left after falaise and with complete control of the air even the italians would have done as well as he did.

  • @ufelcher - Riiiight...'cause YOU say so. You're just another contrarian with a hard on against the US and therefore refusing to acknowledge any accomplishments, You simply dismiss any other supporting statements as 'biased', proving you're completely disingenous and frankly, lacking any credibility. rational discussion with you is pointless. And BTW, "A Genuis for War" was written by Carlo D'Este, I have it. It simply doesn't support your contention.

  • @broadjumper1 you read the WRONG book. patton never had to contend with superior numbers, air superiority or a bottom less replacement pool. mostly he simply filled a vacuum

  • @ufelcher - WRONG again. I read the book YOU attributed to somebody else. Carlo D'Este is a former US Army Lt. Colonel and historian. Your BS contention is not his conclusion, it's what you choose to believe, that anyone could have done as well. That makes you a damn fool because it completely disregard's Patton's abilities as a leader, instilling confidence and discipline in his men. If it were so damn simple, Fredendall would have and Eisenhower wouldn't have given him a command.

  • @ufelcher - To denigrate him as a tactical leader is absurd, He understood and used air power to his advantage better than most, along with a mastery of logistical support. Your is one of the dumber opinions I've seen on YouTube in a while and that's saying something. Yes, Patton enjoyed some numerical superiority in many battle, but you seem to suppose that it was 2:1 or greater as a rule and that simply not true.

  • @broadjumper1 first you again the wrong book penned by a sycopantic hack. the real one came out in 77 by Dupry. can you cite a pattonic brillance on the level of Von Manstein, Guderian , Balck ect?

  • @barackscat I'm not sure why any of those men would be considered relevant?

  • @togowack they were truely brilliant commanders unlike this meglomaniac

  • @ufelcher its all in the eye of the beholder

  • If they ever tried to make a black Patton like they made a black Santa Claus, I think Samuel L Jackson would be the man

  • I'm so glad we kicked the Krauts' and the Japs' asses

  • ¡almería!

  • Patton was the BEST!!! he took no shit from NO one. not from the germans and not from higher in command. he was always with the troops. he was truly the Gorge Washingtion of his time.

  • @petter405 lack in discipline, that what makes a general great?

  • @petter405 patton gave orders to not take prisoners during the normandy campaign. check it on wikipedia. if germany would have won wwII he would have been trialed at nuremberg

  • umm lol T-80 0:13

    fail!

  • @NoobSnoopy

    Its a USA M60 tank. The T 80 would kick its ass.

  • BTW:in infantry battles:by and large german infantry inflicted atleast 2:1 casualty rate on the americans:see normandy,argonne ,even in the bulge where they were on attack the dead breaks out to almost parity

    fact is:man-man the germans were the best and were overcome only by numbers.

    hard to accept but the reality and generally accepted by most impartial historians,only the delusional like to beleive otherwise

  • Wtf, those are M47 Patton tanks, which were made after the war itself

  • How much money do you think they would have spent on actually getting M4 Sherman tanks, Panzer IV's, Tigers, King Tigers, Panthers etc. The movie is historically accurate for the most part.

  • I agree, the cost of getting "correct" armor would have been more than the entire budget of the movie. I SO wish they would remake it today and "build" tigers, panthers etc as they did in Band of Brothers. How 'bout Bruce Willis as Patton? With a little hollywood makeup and creativity I think it would work.

  • delusions galore:

    allies: 12 million DEAD

    germany:4.9 million

    victory yes but with a BLOODY nose

  • Most of those casualties on the Russian side.

  • @Patton306

    well thats because they did most of the fighting: 74% of the germann war dead was on the eastern front alone

  • I don't even consider Russia an Ally. They should have done what Patton said at the end of the movie and attacked the Russians after the German defeat.

  • Yep. Russians were bigger scumbags than the krauts. Just like he wanted to do, we should have re-armed the Germans and kicked the Russians asses right then and there...No cold war, No Vietnam, No Berlin wall, we'd still own the bomb by ourselves....He was a genius and an ass kicker.... a rare combination.

  • @asku23 more like 60%

  • @Rabbit42345345

    not "like" it is 74%:even a basic internet search will pull up this figure:anycase it is in eisenhowers book:"crusade in europe"

  • what gets me is that Goldsmith was nominated for an Oscar SEVENTEEN times and only won ONCE...for The Omen!!!! WTF!?

  • to powerskr: eighteen times to be exact! :)

  • Could you believe that this intelligently written score by Jerry Goldsmith LOST the oscar to the score from Love Story!?!

  • @finalfantasyst Stupid fuckfaces don't know music... :(

  • @finalfantasyst GAHHHHHHHHHH

  • @finalfantasyst Can quite believe it given the cult following that the nauseatingly syrupy Love Story theme acquired.

  • @finalfantasyst I'm still recovering from Patton and Goldsmith losing the Oscar to Love Story.

  • @finalfantasyst Apocalypse Now lost to the Dear Hunter, was the biggest upset in movie history.

  • @snowwolf7777 I'm afraid you're wrong there. Apocalypse Now lost the oscar to Kramer vs. Kramer.

  • @finalfantasyst The Academy Awards are total bullshit. That's the reason Scott refused to accept his award. Movies win based on favoritism for certain actors and directors, subjects and political correctness. For example, virtually any Holocaust film is guaranteed to win multiple awards. Once in a while a good movie wins (like Patton) but it doesn't change the essential fact that the oscars are meaningless.

  • @finalfantasyst That's like when Shakespeare in Love won Best Picture over Saving Private Ryan in 1998.

  • @finalfantasyst Unfortunately I can, just as I know that ST-TMP lost to A Little Romance in 1979. However, if you think about it, what chance did a subdued, physcological score have against a romantic score, or a mostly abstract, conceptual score have against a popular and lovely romantic comedy score by Georges Delarue.....when it came to the Academy voting. As soon as I found out that Shakespeare In Love's score was nominated, I knew that Mulan had no chance.

  • Maybe it's just me but I honestly like this piece more than the main title.

  • awsome

  • I love this movie. Rented it thinking about buying it.

    does the Blu-Ray version make any difference?

  • No, it doesn't the Americans still win!!! USA!! USA!! USA!!

  • i guess converting an old T34 is the best they can do to make something look like a tiger , but every one that knows the basics of tanks wil say its not a tiger its a T34

  • No, they were American tanks.

  • by any chanse patton tanks like battle of the bulge ?

  • say what?

  • have u seen battle of the bulge , they also made the germans have amarican tanks

  • They aren't T-34s. The "Tiger" tanks in this movie are American M48 Patton tanks.

  • yes thats what i ment with " patton tanks like battle of the bulge "

  • Oh sorry, I see what you were saying now. Yep, Patton tanks :)

  • What a genius goldsmith is!

  • Anyone have the original version from the actual soundtrack (bootleg?). This is from the re-recording of the score in the 1990's. The original was a more powerful performance.

  • isn't this song like the CallOfDuty 3 theme song?

    btw can anyone tell me the name of this song?

  • No, this is German March composed by Jerry Goldsmith for the movie, Patton. The theme to Call of Duty 3 was written by Goldsmith's son, Joel Goldsmith based upon this theme from Patton.

  • WhaT?! 0_0

  • Battle of the Bulge movie...

    Patton movie...

    M48 Patton = as German tanks

    M3 White half-tracks = as German half-tracks

    M24 = as US Sherman tanks

  • Most of the German equipment was destroyed, the rest was used by the various militaries around the world to study for their own tank design aswell as test their own anti tank weapons against them. By the time the movie was made there would have only been a handful of the real German vehicles left. Sorry that the 1970 didn't have the money/ability to recreate the vehicles like the newer movies/series do.

  • In Saving Private Ryan movie...

    T-34 conversion = as German Tiger tank

    exact German Marder SP gun

    exact German 251-model APC

    exact German 20mm AA gun

    exact German infantry weapons, even in the Battle of the Bulge & Patton movies...

  • Yes, hi, welcome to 27 years after patton.

  • Yes, I have a collection of the movie 'Patton' in VHS (1998), VCD (2001) & DVD (2008). I have seen the movie in a movie theater in 1971, when I was still in high school...Hi, Welcome

  • Sorry nebelwerfer XXX the halftracks are NOT sdkfz 251's but OT 810's - which are very good, but not exact copies of the sdkfz 251.

  • The OT-810 APCs are the current Czechoslovak army version of the SdKfz 251 APCs.

  • a german tank would never ever driver over one of their own men

  • Germanss did drive over their own troops. All sides did. Its inevitable.

    But that was an American M-60 tank that wasnt introduced until 15 years or so after the end of WW2.

  • Pretty much all American MBTs, medium and heavy tanks up untill the Abrams were based around the same chassis, a chassis used in late WWII, can't remember which tank.

  • was it Sherman or Pershing?

  • Pershing, another fun fact is how much it resembles the T-34.

  • Realy? I mean they drove and killed their own men!?

  • The thing i think they screwed up the most in this movie is the tanks,why didnt they put real panzer 4s and shermans in the movie

  • There wern't many about its a pity.

    But they did what they could.

  • U.S. Army supplied them with tanks for cheap. Absolute historical accuracy wasn't worth hundreds of thousands more to them, nor should it have been.

  • yeah sure, panzer 4's are so easy to get.

  • maybe Panzer means tank in German language. i wish they would of tried to make them look like WWII German Panzers-Tanks like in Saving private Ryan.

  • The opening speech of Gen.Patton is one of my favorite speeches.forget about the american-made-german tank,nothing is perfect,hia hia hia hia.

  • those german tanks are.... pattons!!!XD

  • I know, it was pretty hilarious to see Patton fighting Germans driving Patton tanks! LOL

    I guess they went the cheap route and got what they had available to them.

  • LOL

  • if you knew something about tank history you would realize that those tanks are m48 patton and m24 chafee, and m26 pershing... but if you can't diference an Panzer IV or a panzer III or a Tiger from those tanks... you should not put comments like that... mime was just a joke... just in case you didn't knew it...

  • I got it.

    Look at the tanks in Saving Private Ryan, the "German" tanks. I haven't seen the movie in awhile but I'm pretty sure they're Russian frames.

    But F- it man, it's Hollywood!

  • Yeah thats true. Those are all Pattons or chafees, like in the Movie the Battle of the Bulge.

  • That's odd, I didn't know that europe lookedexactly like Southern California. :)

  • The movie was filmed mostly in Spain, so it would indeed be quite interesting.

  • That would definatley explain it. I was trying to point out that many movies were filmed right next to LA for the sake of convenience.

  • True. It was cheaper to film in Spain though. A lot of the big epics of the '60s and '70s were filmed there.

  • Just lie the Spaghetti Westerns filmed in Italy.

  • North Africa:P

  • What?

  • Yeah, parts of the movie were shot in Morocco, but most of it was in Spain, including the El Guettar battle.

  • I unfortunately feel like this is way too short. If only Mr. Goldsmith had the opportunity to compose this to a longer scene (the part of the film with the panzer crushing the helmet lying on the ground -stolen by the computer game Battlefield 1942). Regardless, a very short part of the soundtrack that has a larger impact on the film.

  • I have this song on my MP3 player and listen to it constantly.

  • Hi

    This is a fine track played hear by if I'm not mistaken by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and called German March, I've lifted all the tracks from the original LP release where the track is called Winter March both are studio recordings as on the FSM release the piece is a different arrangement one of my all time favorite scores

    like your channel Its nice to see the older scores here, most people probably unaware of

    how good they were, I try doing the same on mine Many Thanks.

  • I'll choke on Panzer fumes any day!!

  • Love the shot of the "German " tanks going over the stone wall

  • Thanks for posting. One of my favourite Goldsmith themes.
