U.S. Army General George S. Patton is one of the greatest and most controversial battle commanders of World War II. His tactics were criticized by his detractors, lauded by his peers, and feared by the Nazis in North Africa, Sicily, France, and northern Europe. Some erroneously assumed he plunged his troops into battle with little or no forethought, but in fact he studied his opponent's writings and tactics, knew the terrain and weather conditions on anticipated fields of fire, and even relied on the Bible for guidance.
Almost no other general or world leader from World War II has been written about more than Old Blood and Guts Patton - a nickname he hated. Even today, despite advances in weaponry and technology, military commanders still study his battle tactics.
