13. My family lore spoke of my uncle driving with Patton. We always thought it was made up history until
my Uncle's son (my 2nd cousin, I think) found a pretty famous pic of Patton pointing with a crop and right next to him is a young Uncle Al. It was cool, to say the least.

40. I also had an Uncle that said he drove ambulance
in Patton's army. I have no written proof, just family lore, but DO have an amazing German book that was obviously Hitler propaganda that he brought home.
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=deutfchland+erwacht&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=deutchland+erwacht It is not in "great" shape since it sat in his attic for 50+ years, but it is amazing to look through - and a "fold-out" (NO, not THAT kind!) that shows hundreds of thousands at a "rally" with Hitler speaking (and YES, it DOES remind me of BunkerBoy's rallies!). One very unique thing about the book is that the "print/wording" of all of the pages was run, and then they "pasted" actual pictures all the way through the book to illustrate whatever was meant to be seen on that page. Yes, the book is filled with separate, glued-on pictures! |

Patton famously hated the Russians. If he witnessed Trump kissing Putin's ass, I imagine him coming back to personally kick Trump's ass.

Or was a part of liberating them? He like Truman was at his core very prejudiced but seeing the Black soldiers perform in combat they both felt the soldiers earned their equality.

Let's just say we're all better off that he didn't survive long after the war. He's the kind we need for the ground game, and the type we should never have around when there's no fighting to be done.

I assumed it was de Gaulle; but it turns out it's General Jean-Marie de Lattre de Tassigny.

33. You would be surprised at how many people do NOT know that about high tax rates.
Everyone presumes that it just means someone paying 90% instead of forcing reinvestment back into the country and American People, which allows them to keep ownership of that 90% rate. The Democratic Party has done a poor job of educating the American People about how it really works and comparing it to the slash and burn Republican rates destroys them.

54. Considering where we are now this speech brings tears to my eyes.
The cross of iron speech is better than any sermon I have ever heard in a church.
I think I'm going to get Amrose's history of Eisenhower soon. I was in New Orleans for 2 months for the BP spill and finished EVERYTHING in the National WW2 Memorial there. Read every sign, listened to every oral history. I want to go back to see the restored PT-305. Anyway, the story I heard there was that Ambrose was interviewing Ike for the book, and Ike asked him where he was from. Ambrose said NOLA, and Ike asked if he had heard of Andrew Higgins. Ambrose said no. Ike said that Higgins was the man who won the war for us. So there is a room in the museum dedicated to the Higgins factory. I have a biography, but I'm saving it for when I complete a model of a Higgins PT (the 216). |

49. What the fuck?
At the outbreak of World War II, de Gaulle commanded a tank brigade attached to the French Fifth Army. In May 1940, after assuming command as temporary brigadier general in the 4th Armoured Division—the rank that he retained for the rest of his life—he twice had the opportunity to apply his theories on tank warfare. He was mentioned as “an admirable, energetic, and courageous leader.” On June 6 he entered the government of Paul Reynaud as undersecretary of state for defense and war, and he undertook several missions to England to explore the possibilities of continuing the war. When the Reynaud government was replaced 10 days later by that of Marshal Pétain, who intended to seek an armistice with the Germans, de Gaulle left for England. On June 18 he broadcast from London his first appeal to his compatriots to continue the war under his leadership. On August 2, 1940, a French military court tried and sentenced him in absentia to death, deprivation of military rank, and confiscation of property.
De Gaulle entered his wartime career as a political leader with tremendous liabilities. He had only a handful of haphazardly recruited political supporters and volunteers for what were to become the Free French Forces. He had no political status and was virtually unknown in both Britain and France. But he had an absolute belief in his mission and a conviction that he possessed the qualities of leadership. He was totally devoted to France and had the strength of character (or obstinacy, as it often appeared to the British) to fight for French interests as he saw them with all the resources at his disposal. In his country, to the politicians on the political left, a career officer who was a practicing Roman Catholic was not an immediately acceptable political leader, while to those on the right he was a rebel against Pétain, who was a national hero and France’s only field marshal. Broadcasts from London, the action of the Free French Forces, and the contacts of resistance groups in France either with de Gaulle’s own organization or with those of the British secret services brought national recognition of his leadership; but full recognition by his allies came only after the liberation of Paris in August 1944. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Charles-de-Gaulle-president-of-France |
