Nice article. A huge reluctant fan of Patton. When I was young (paper route), I had a customer who was in the Third Army. Missing some of his toes. He hated Patton.
Thanks. 75 and a boomer of WWII parents, uncles, and father in law. They were the children of the Great Depression, had nothing, served in honor and commitment. They were a revelation to my generation. Two best quips inherited from them: 1. “Do without!” 2. “They could fill volumes with what you don’t know!”

There's a great book on the Hammelburg raid, simply titled "Raid!" (1981). Abe Baum is one of the three authors.
