Several months ago I sat with a very old man that claimed he saw Patton die. I think he's 86 years old now. The story he told had no accident in it at all. He described the event as outright murder. I came to the conclusion that the troops around him were very afraid he was going to move his forces on against the communists. As he described it there was a group that decided to do something about it. 2 GI's were chosen and simply drove a large truck over his command car crushing it and killing Patton. The cover story is history. The 2 GI's were driven out of town within 5 min of the wreck he said.
His story really got my curriosity up so I searched for a while and came up with theories about it but nothing close to what i heard from him. This guy is the real item in my opinion. The way I got to the story was because he was complaining about being invited to his local VFW to be the guest of honor for an event.
Here are the exact words I first heard him say as I entered the room......" The last G.. D... thing I want is to be honored for killing 54 germans....I just dident want to die, and I had the ammo for my Thompson".
I bought him 2 beers and listened, learned and did more research. I dont think he lied to me at all. But who knows.

Sounds very plausible, I've always thought the circumstances around his death were a bit fishy. It wouldn't do for a WW 2 hero to be killed by his own men in the history books. I talk and shake hands with every WW2 vet I meet and thank them for their service even though most of them are contankerous old cusses.
My best friend met his wife in the marines. He was a marksman with the shotgun...she was an expert.
