    The only sourced German General quote on Patton does not say he was 'the best' but rather 'Patton and Montgomery were your best'.

    Anyone know the range of the super heavy 28?

    At 13kph you had better be a good shot because you couldn't run.

    Same here. Sweet. Next time I'm in Columbus for a kid's soccer game I'll have to make a detour (once the collection is moved).

Witness talks to his grandson, George Patton Waters, about his memories of this colourful and often unorthodox man.
