Text has darkened somewhat. Introduction by Douglas Southall Freeman. George Smith Patton Jr. (November 11, 1885 - December 21, 1945) was a General of the United States Army who commanded the U.S. Seventh Army in the Mediterranean theater of World War II, and the U.S. Third Army in France and Germany following D-Day: the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Patton first saw combat during the Pancho Villa Expedition in 1916, taking part in America's first military action using motor vehicles. As part of the newly formed United States Tank Corps of the American Expeditionary Forces he saw action in World War I. His strong emphasis on rapid and aggressive offensive action proved effective, and he was regarded highly by his opponents in the German High Command. From the invasion of Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge, General George S. Patton, Jr., was the most flamboyant, audacious Allied leader of World War II. Brandishing his famous pearl-handled pistols and driven by a profound belief that wars are won by killing the enemy as fast as possible, Patton slammed the tanks and men of the Third Army across Europe at a breakneck pace. He battled not only the enemy but Supreme Headquarters; he complained SHAEF was doing all it could to deny him early victory. Now in these fascinating and frank memoirs, Patton speaks out with intense personal feelings about the Second World War, the art of war, and the soldier's life. He gives us an unforgettable self-portrait of an American professional soldier caught in the toils of war. Greg Beecham (drawings) (illustrator).…

Rare original dinner menu from George S. Patton's 60th birthday celebration at the Spa Hotel in Bad Nauheim, Germany, on November 11, 1945. Octavo, featuring colorful hand-decorated double ruled borders, four-star rank, and unit insignia designs. Boldly signed under the four-star rank insignia by Patton, "G. S. Patton, Jr." Additionally signed by eighteen attendees, including: Robert B. Patterson, recently elevated to Secretary of War; Hobart R. Gay, Patton's Chief-of Staff; Paul D. Harkins, deputy Chief-of-Staff and later Vietnam-era commander; Geoffrey Keyes; and Thomas H. Nixon. In near fine condition. General George S. Pattonâs 60th birthday celebration was a day-long event that served both as a reunion with fellow veterans of the Third and Seventh Armies and as a farewell before his planned departure for the United States on December 10, 1945. The occasion offered a brief moment of joy amid the turbulence of Pattonâs final months. In September, just weeks earlier, he had been relieved of his positions as commander of the Third Army and military governor of Bavaria by General Eisenhower, following controversial remarks in which he compared former Nazi Party members to Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Reassigned to lead the Fifteenth Army, a unit tasked with compiling the official history of the war, Patton found little satisfaction in the new role. He disagreed with American denazification efforts and believed U.S. forces should remain strong in Europe to counter any future threat from the Soviet Union. With no reassignment to the Pacific forthcoming, Patton hoped simply to return homeâ"a journey he would never complete. On December 9, a truck collided with his jeep, resulting in a broken neck and paralysis; he died in a hospital in Heidelberg on December 21, 1945.…
