In Scotland, a man ran from his home for obscured circumstances. As soon as he was gone, his identity was erased for his protection in the "New World". This new name that this refugee obtained was "Robert Patton". Years went by and Robert married a woman by the name of Anna Mercer, daughter of Hugh Mercer who served as a surgeon in the French and Indian War in 1755. Robert and Anna had one child, a boy, named John Mercer Patton. John grew up and married Margaret French Williams. John and Margaret produced eight sons, which all but two fought in the Civil War for the Confederacy. One of those braves sons of John and Margaret was George Smith Patton. George Smith Patton was married and had two sons, one which was George Patton, Jr. and a daughter. Sadly

On November 8, 1942, General Patton and his Tank Force landed on the beaches of French Morocco. Here the American's had to fight the French who where under orders to resist. Patton organized a fight, which included Naval, air and ground bombardment to Casablanca. The same day the attack was scheduled for, the French were ordered to cease resistance. In March 1943, Eisenhower transferred Patton to the American II Corp's. Eisenhower, who gave him many important assignments, considered Patton a great leader.

The plan assigned to Patton was to work along with Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery's British forces to break through German lines. Just when Patton found an opportunity to break through the lines by the east side, the British General Sir Harold Alexander ordered Patton to abort that mission and keep Africa Corp's from running off while Montgomery's Army broke through the line. After this, Patton was very frustrated, but he was back in action when Eisenhower assigned him to plan Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily. By May 20, Northern Africa was under Allied control. Allied forces landed on Sicily's coast on July 20, 1943. Patton's was moved to the Seventh Army and while making plans, he was asked to double check with the British. Montgomery criticized a lot Patton's plans, but Patton did not even care for him. The invasion lasted thirty-nine days of constant conflict. The Americans had already accomplished their task, but Montgomery had problems pushing north. A final push to the Northern city of Palermo, which resulted in six thousand German casualties and fourty-four thousand prisoners, gave the Allies the victory. By July 22, 1943, Western Sicily was under Allied occupation and later on Patton aid Montgomery, who was stuck at the south in Mount Etna.

George Smith Patton Jr., "Old Blood and Guts," proved to be one of the most remebered leaders in United States history. He was most remembered by his contributions in World War I and World War II. He was a very colorful general. He's known as the best general in World War II. Although General George Patton, Jr. had harsh ways of saying and doing things, he really contributed a lot to United States history.

Later as the war was narrowing to an end, the cleanup of Europe began. Patton made that all civilians had enough goods to get through the up coming winter. Unfortunately, General Patton fell to the American press ounce again. They persuaded him into flying off the handle and saying statements that were used against him. Patton lost command of his Third Army and was transferred to the Fifteenth Army, that handly had enough men to keep it going. General Patton handed the Third Army over to a friend of his, General Lucien K. Truscott.

After his invasions, General Patton went to visit some of the wounded at the Fifteenth Evacuation Hospital and he came across a soldier sitting on some supplies. He seemed to be fine, but Patton asked him what the problem was anyway. The man said, "I guess I just can't take it." The General became seriously mad in a matter of seconds and slapped the soldier across the face with his gloves, then called him a coward, cursed him, and kicked him out of the tent. The soldier was later diagnosed with malaria and chronic dysentery. A week later Patton made his rounds through the sick again telling them how proud he was of them and he came across another man and asked him the same thing
