@ARomanianKid14, That's right, that is George C. Scott's voice. My father heard the real Patton's voice after he pinned the Bronze Star on him serving in the 3rd Army 95th div.

Sounds like George C. Scott doing the narration.

@MaxCruise73 No wonder it sounded familiar, couldn't just figure out who it was. Cheers for that, I agree. Maybe it is him?

That's a lot of 50 cal....

When I was very young I knew a man who'd been a Colonel in Italy in WW2 with the US Army. His name was Galloway. He commanded a unit of half tracks. Some had 75mm cannon and some had Quad 50 cals.

One day he got very serious when we were talking and he told me about being ambushed by some Germans who were behind a stone wall. He described the Quad 50 destroying the wall and everything behind it, and told me about war for real, no BS.

I'll never forget him.
