General Patton may have had a premonition of his own death

General Patton may have had a premonition of his own death

He knew he was making enemies with his outspokenness regarding the dangers of Communism, as well from his unique knowledge of high-level mistakes in the conduct of the war in Europe.

Why did they have to placate Stalin?  That I don't get.  Who were these 20,000?  What were their families told? Yeah, this is outrageous, and yes there is plenty more where that came from.

Not just these accounts, but I also came across a book where many manufacturers of vital military equipment cut corners on quality control yielding shoddy engine parts, etc.  It's a miracle we won.

The American government was almost completely dominated by leftists. Many of them believed that Communism was the model of the future. They also had a notion that future world peace depended on developing a close relationship with the Soviet Union. American officers were not allowed to criticize Stalin or the Soviet government. Stalin bugged the rooms of the allied leaders at Yalta, while Alger Hiss fed him all the conference strategy papers prepared by the Americans and the British.

Allied leaders acquiesced to virtually every  demand Stalin made. He denied having any American POWs and they were unwilling to challenge him on it, although they knew there were Americans being held in German camps in the Soviet zones. The whole  thing is unbelievable and outrageous.

Stalin outmaneuvered Roosevelt at every turn, demanded everything and gave nothing. In addition, Roosevelt was in extremely poor health (he died only a few months later) and should not have been allowed to carry on the responsibility of participating in such a conference, in which he negotiated away the freedom of tens of millions of people.  

Another outrage was Roosevelt’s accession to Stalin’s demand that all Soviet citizens in allied areas were to be repatriated to the Soviet Union. The Red Army treated all troops captured by the enemy as traitors. Repatriation meant execution on return to Russia.

In addition, millions of former residents of Soviet held areas in Poland and the Ukraine and other ancillary areas had escaped to allied territory and were living peacefully in camps in western Europe as displaced persons, many of them under Patton’s supervision. Stalin demanded the repatriation of all of these people, who he also regarded as traitors.

When General Patton learned of this decision, he was appalled, and stalled on turning over these people. This is one of the things that got him in hot water with Eisenhower. Patton appealed repeatedly to Eisenhower to reverse this decision, knowing that these people would all be murdered if they were returned to Russia. Eisenhower refused Patton’s pleas to save these people, and gave Patton a direct order to ship the people out to Russia. Patton was extremely disturbed by this order, and tried everything possible to avoid having to carry it out. Eventually he complied with a heavy heart. Hundreds of thousands of captured Soviet troops and refugees from Soviet areas, including families with women and children, were shipped back to Russia in cattle cars, where most were executed, and some were sent to labor camps in Siberia.  

This is one of the issues that troubled Patton deeply. He considered the Russians to be Barbarians, and felt that America would have to fight them sooner or later. He felt that they were weak and poorly supported at the end of the war. He told Eisenhower he could be in Moscow in thirty days, and we would have no more problems with the Russians. From this, Eisenhower concluded that Patton was insane. Patton, however, considered Eisenhower to be weak, indecisive, and without principles. He was determined to expose Eisenhower and to make sure that he could not be elected to public office.

At one famous joint celebration with the Russians, Marshall Zhukov proposed a toast to Patton. Patton refused the toast and responded with a strong insult to the Russian general, who was feared by his own people. Zhukov never forgot that insult, and Patton learned from his OSS contact Bazata, as well as from sources in the NKVD, that Zhukov had resolved that Patton must be killed. Wilcox points out that faked vehicle accidents were one of the favorite assassination techniques used by the NKVD.

Patton well knew that he had a bulls-eye on his back. There were three unsuccessful attempts to assassinate him prior to the December 1945 “accident”. In one incident in the fall of 1945, Patton was up in a small spotter plane surveying some of his installations when he was set up on by a Polish Spitfire (the Poles were under Russian control at that time). The Spitfire tried to shoot down Patton’s plane. It was only the skill of the American pilot and his evasive maneuvers which saved Patton that day.

Robert Wilcox offers six primary arguments supporting the conclusion that General Patton was assassinated, probably in a joint OSS-NKVD operation:

1. Former American CIC (U.S. Army Intelligence) agent Stephen J. Skubik was a credible witness with extensive experience in Eastern Europe. Skubik claimed that he had uncovered an OSS-NKVD plot to assassinate Patton, and his efforts to stop the plot were thwarted by OSS officers, especially OSS Chief William Donovan. Skubik says he was warned THREE TIMES by the Ukrainians, who had spies in the NKVD, that Patton was marked for death by its assassins.

2. There are too many missing records. All pertinent records concerning Patton’s strange auto accident on December 9, 1945 cannot be found and were most probably purged from U.S. files. At least five crucial records, including the official accident report, along with witness interrogations and follow-up investigations which were known to have existed have disappeared.

3. There is substantial evidence of malicious intent in what we do know of Patton’s accident. The accident description given by the drivers indicates that the Army truck that collided with Patton’s car may have been lying in wait for Patton.

4. The car alleged to be the one that Patton was riding in when injured, which is at the Patton Museum at Fort Knox, Kentucky, has been proven to be a disguised and rebuilt replica by a Cadillac vintage model expert. In addition, the car’s vehicle identification number has been scraped or filed off.

5. Crucial witnesses and principals in the accident were allowed to disappear without adequate investigation.

6. Patton had escaped injury in no less than three earlier accidents in the months prior to the one that claimed his life. All three occurred under suspicious circumstances.

Patton seemed to have a premonition of his own death. In June of 1945 Patton flew home for a family visit. At his departure for his return to Germany, he told his two young daughters that he did not think he would see them again. Apparently he did not explain what he meant by that.

It seems to me that Patton sacrificed himself, knowing that it would probably result in his own death, in order to protect the honor of his country. His stubborn outspokenness was his last act of patriotism, trying to warn his fellow Americans that things were not right in the American government, that America had betrayed its own principles at the end of the war, and that the American people were not being told the truth about what was being done in their name.

The more I learn of the truth about World War II, the more I admire the honorable generals like MacArthur,  Patton and Chennault who recognized the evil of Communism, and despise the weak political generals such as Marshall, Eisenhower, Bradley, and Stillwell who were unwilling to stand up to the politically correct leftist thinking coming out of Washington D.C.

So what has changed?

As to the missing POWs, the families were just told they were MIA, just as in Vietnam.
