Patton Theatrical Movie Trailer (1970)

In 1943 North Africa, George Patton assumes command of the American forces. Engaged in battle against Germany's Field Marshal Rommel, Patton drives back "The Desert Fox" by using the German's own tactics. Promoted to Lieutenant General, Patton is sent to Sicily, where he engages in a personal war of egos with British Field Marshal Montgomery. Performing brilliantly in Italy, Patton seriously jeopardizes his future with a single slap. While touring an Army hospital, the General comes across a GI suffering from nervous fatigue. Incensed by what he considers a slacker, Patton smacks the poor soldier and orders him to get well in a hurry. This incident results in his losing his command-and, by extension, missing out on D-Day. In his final campaign, Patton leads the US 3rd Army through Europe. Unabashedly flamboyant, Patton remains a valuable resource, but ultimately proves too much of a "loose cannon" in comparison to the more level-headed tactics of his old friend Omar Bradley.

Hail my general Patton, theres will be no one like in a thousand years.

[Jackson Larson]

I just have to say I hate the youtube comment section because it causes so much useless controversy. It just sickens me.

That's kind of a different time, Patton was one of the best of his time, Napoleon was one of the best of HIS time, Hell I mean we could compare Napoleon to Hannibal who defeated armies of The Roman Empire but Hannibal used sticks and spears.

[Sam Aberle]

I named my pet rat Patton.

And his army did it on foot...
