My uncle Adrien Gagnon was buried close to Gen Patton's grave until they moved the general up front to make paying your respects easier. I was a soldier in Germany in 1974 and visited my uncles grave at the American cemetery in Hamm Luxembourg. I arrived at the train station and hailed a cab. He took me the short distance to the cemetery while asking about my uncle. I was going to pay him but he refused and said that he would wait for me. An hour later he took me back to the train station. This was going to be an expensive cab. When I asked him what the charge was he replied that my uncle Adrien had already paid the bill many times over and thanked me for my service to his country as well. It made me feel proud and humble at the same time. As a young soldier I learned a great lesson that fine spring day.

I cannot imagine how hard it must have been under combat conditions, the cold, the pain, the shelling, the fear, the blood... These men deserve our eternal respect, as we owe our freedom to them.

I visited Patton’s grave in Luxembourg in the early 1980s. His gravesite was different than it was as shown in this video. There was much more of a memorial honoring him at this time. I have read that he could have been brought home stateside to be buried but he wanted to be buried with the men who served under him. He was tough, but apparently very well respected by the troops he commanded. RIP General Patton.

​@@snydedon9636 Patton's Grave was moved many Decades ago, less than 2 years after his death because of the Damage that was being done to the other graves in the Cemetery. They moved the General to the Head of his men so people could visit the General's grave without having to walk over the other men's graves and therefore not damage them. The General's Grave was moved from the Western part of the Cemetery to where he now rests, and where you saw it, on March 19, 1947.

I visited Gen.Patton's grave site Oct. of 2004 in Luxembourg. He has been re-interred so that he is now buried at the front of the cemetery in a separate location. The large number of visitors to his grave made that necessary. The cemetery is beautifully cared for. Short story: I was traveling with some of the very famous Band of Brothers of Easy Co. 506th PIR 101st Airborne, who had friends, fellow soldiers, buried in this cemetery. One of these men, with his great sense of humor, had fun with my being from California. That day he and I were standing at Patton's grave, alone, when I pointed out that Patton's marker was engraved with 'California'. I asked him if he saw Patton and did he give him any flack about California. Bill said he did see Patton pass by while he was in Bastogne (where he was wounded) in 1944 but he said that's one man he would never kid around with... California or not. Pretty humorous......

Ike looks a lot tougher in this film than I expected. I guess I'm more used to seeing him older as President. I like the way Patton had an ordinary cross for a grave marker just like his men. That, and the fact he is buried along side the men of 3rd Army. He would have wanted it that way. I do wish he was still around to comment on America in 2022, though. Those would be some gems for sure.

Gen. Patton was the very best Allied field commander in the war, and the only one the Germans really feared, and truly respected. Eisenhower was more of a political general, and very adept at coordinating and bringing together the very divergent personalities of FDR, Churchill, Stalin, Patton, and Montgomery. He should have given Patton free reign, and the war would have ended sooner, and with the Americans in Berlin, rather than the Russians. The ensuing Cold War might have been averted............possibly.

Read a book. Eisenhower didn't want to lose a single soldier taking land that would eventually go to the Russians, so the Allies stopped at the Elbe River, well short of Berlin, because it had been decided in Malta that Berlin would be in the territory Russia would take over after the war. The only way to avert the Cold would have been to fight the Soviets, which would have entailed catastrophically high casualties, while we were still fighting Japan.

Eisenhower, Bradley, Marshall, Arnold, were promoted to their positions because they were part of the club. None of these men should have been promoted to the rank of Captain and no further. There were three people who should have been leading the war effort in Europe: MacArthur, Stilwell, and Patton

Not only for the reasons you state, but for the simple fact that America wanted her sons, brothers, and fathers back home.

Well if you did visit a "tomb", then it was a centotaph. Patton was and remains buried in the same grass covered ground, marked merely with a common soldiers white marble cross, where he was buried upon his death, in the American Cemetery in Luxembourg. Having been liberated by Americans once in WW1 and twice in WW2, the people of Luxembourg revered Patton and too many visitors made it impossible to keep his and his soldiers gravesites properly maintained. When he was hospitalized, Patton had his wife come over to Europe to his hospital to make sure he was buried amongst his men should things go south. When cemetery authorities told her that they were going to have to move his grave, she lit into them, saying "What don't you understand about rest in peace?", and so he remained where he was buried. It is military policy that officer's, regardless of their rank, be buried as and where all other service personnel are Hence, all the other soldiers buried around him, and especially behind his grave, were reinterred elsewhere so that Patton appeared to be buried in front of them. All service personnel are buried feet facing downhill. Hence his lone grave makes it appear as though he is addressing his troops. A tomb or monument? Patton would never have sanctioned that.

My grandfather served in the 4th armored. He loved Patton as a patriot, and knew even though he was training him hard it was so America can end up on top. He loved Patton and led his tank on the frontline like Patton. He like Patton had a feeling of the battle of the bulge and he was inspired when he saw Patton on the frontline. He respected Patton as a military genius at maneuvers such as falaise and bulge but loved him as a patriot, hero. I still have the picture of him and Patton signed in Bastogne with pattons dog.

Turned the 4th Armored around in 5 or 6 days, and was "in the fray", 240 miles from where they started. The Germans KNEW his location, and strength, but based on THEIR logistics problems they calculated 3 WEEKS. So just like the 350,000 Germans, attacking the 65,000 "fresh" USA troops, the Germans were "caught off guard". BUT those 65 "green" troops, had already "blunted" the German advance, and were ALL COMPLETE HEROES in my evaluation.

The author of Patton's Principles said that his shiny helmet was easy to pick out but the Germans didn't dare shoot him because they knew if they killed him, his men would stop at nothing and have no mercy against them as a result. Mind you, that was much like what Patton told them to do anyway....If you read Bill O' Reilly's book about it, an airplane went after him in allied colours, but Patton's pilot was so deft he lost him and the attacking plane crashed.

Patton specifically requested that he be buried at the American cemetery in Luxembourg where many of the men he commanded in Third Army were interred. He had lingered in traction for 12 days in tremendous pain from the accident but he was conscious most of the time. He was an avid horseman who knew he would never ride again. He also believed in reincarnation so he wasn't afraid of death.

What's right or wrong in War ? Ike counted on him to keep pushing the enemy, and new politically he couldn't give orders that ruffled feathers. Patton new he was there to find and kill the enemy, if his actions were not consistent with Allies beliefs so be it he will pay the price when the battles over. Ike knew this and counted on this.

I will say that at the time I visitedted the cemetery Pattons grave marker was not among the rest of the markers but was set apart from them. There was no mystery with Patton, what you saw was what you got, a hard nosed fighter and a leader of men in combat. The only question about Patton is where he will turn up next?

Same size grave marker, but he now rests in a small roped off area about 30 feet away from the first row of graves. It gives the appearance of the General at the head of the line, overseeing his troops. Interesting side note, this American Cemetery is the only one that has the actual dead soldier’s body buried under every grave marker. This information came from one of the guides at the facility. Apparently, the other American Cemeteries in Europe and Asia, have grave markers with a body buried underneath and grave markers with no body buried underneath.

War is all about sacrificing troops, and making the enemy sacrifice more. Patton believed in total victory. The general was also a man with a huge, out of control ego. Yes, he was an embarrassment to the allied cause, and to Ike, because he had no sense of diplomacy. He treated everyone with equal disdain, although he could hide it when he knew he had misspoken. He was full of opinions that often were based on limited facts. My research has led me to believe that Ike, Truman, Churchill, were deeply concerned about what international incidents Patton’s comments could cause. The situation was that Stalin did not trust the Americans, British, or most of Western Europe. The armies were already in place. A anti Soviet comment from Patton could be a spark. The US powers decided to keep him in Europe, in dignified, but irrelevant, out of sight positions. That way any comments he might make in the future, could be discounted as Patton being out of the intelligence, diplomatic, or strategic loop. Patton knew what they were doing to him and did not take it lightly. He was offended. Having stated all the above, I am confident that the General’s death was truly an accident. I have read the investigative reports compiled as a result of the accident. I have read the autopsy reports. Of course all of these documents could be fake, part of a massive assassination plot. But such a plan would have required the cooperation of dozens of people. It was too messy, to complex, required the involvement of too many people to have remained secret. Gen. Patton died of a blow to the front of his head caused by him striking the seat in front of him at the moment of impact with the army vehicle. He died a few days later. A great man died accidentally and tragically. He was interred in foreign soil, with his soldiers, at his request.

I'm unaware that an autopsy was performed. It was my understanding that his Wife Beatrice would not allow an autopsy to be performed. Also, Patton died from a broken neck caused when he slammed into the metal frame of the glass partition between the front of the staff car and the rear where he was seated with his Chief of Staff. His head was badly lacerated but it was the resulting embolism in his right lung that ended his life 12 days later.

A man so noteworthy that Salvador Dali painted him told a group of 400 veterans in 1979 that Wild Bill, head of the OSS, assigned him to shoot a projectile at Patton at the scene of the accident and that that was what broke his neck. The story was carried in one newspaper abroad and ignored by the rest of the media. Bill O Reilly's book said records of his death vanished and some of the investigation records on the drunk driver did as well. That man was not his normal driver either.

@@ericbarnes6130 General Eisenhower never saw active combat in the 35 years he served in the Military. So that's what I believe that, Dr. Barry Craig Garneau Esq. was referring too when he wrote, "IKE the pencil pusher, Patton the Warrior." Now I'm not going to question General Eisenhower's leadership ability. But NO ONE can question that General Patton was in the middle of non-stop combat throughout WWII and was the ultimate "Warrior!"

Read a book about "Ike" called 'The Politician'. You might find enlightenment about this "Hero". Did you know, at the start of the war, Ike was a Colonel? How did he get promoted so fast, despite never having had a combat command? POLITICALLY RELIABLE, is what the Soviets called his "unique qualification".

Patton was a patriot and refused to play the political games the other generals were guilty of for advancement. He was a real soldier and earned his merits with a fighting spirit the others were intimidated by but respected. His whole life was a grooming for WWII, where he excelled masterfully and when it was over, the establishment laid him to rest.

My 7th grade school mates and l attended the showing of Patton when it first came out. This was at the Bellevue Theater in z. My class mates were making a ruckus as the film began, with George C.Scott giving the famous speech. Dismayed, l stood up in the very front of the theater and chastened them to be quiet. They shut up as the movie reel rolled on, and that was that. In high-school history classes l developed a disdain for Eisenhower, and the history teacher who held him in high regard, just as he did the football jocks, cheerleaders, and everything that seemed to be leading to Reaganism....History will tell if I'm right.,
