The visiting general again told Patton he was exaggerating, and remarked, “I promise you one thing General, you will see no more German planes.” At that moment German aircraft attacked, as they dove under the table for cover.
The British didn’t believe him, and had replied to Patton’s concerns with insults. Patton had complained earlier to the British, who were in charge of allied air support for that campaign, that the German air force was causing him severe problems. One of my favorite scenes from the movie Patton, is when General Patton is visited by a British general while fighting German troops in North Africa. The secret is to gang up on the problem, rather than each other.īy Capt.
