Luxembourg American Cemetery

ON THIS DAY -- PATTON ASSASSINATED BY U.S. DEEPSTATE DECEMBER 21, 1945

GENERAL GEORGE S. PATTON, one of America's most beloved generals, who had once been eager to drive on to capture Moscow, hero strategist in the Battle of the Bulge, was no friend of the deep-state and was about to return to Washington to say so.
According to historian Robert K. Wilcox, OSS chief Wild Bill Donovan in 1945 ordered up an assassination-by-truck, which severely injured Patton.
Miraculously Patton recovered well, only to be finally assassinated in the hospital on December 21, 1945 -- either by the same OSS agent Douglas Bazata who set up the initial attempt, or by the Soviet NKVD. Bazata said it was the Russians.
The OSS and NKVD were known to work together.
(During my first visit on a rainy day in late 1974 to the Luxembourg American Cemetery, I noticed one grave slightly set apart, in the sea of white crosses stretching to the horizon, that the American guide forgot to mention. The grave area and cross for General Patton were smaller then.)

The US suffered over a million dead and wounded, and over 30,000 MIAs in WWII.
Further, 20,000 American POWs were held by the Russians at war's end as, more or less, hostages.
Arguably, the US military by 1945 was not prepared to follow Patton to occupy Eastern Europe, precisely because our first Red-leaning president FDR, then Truman with General Eisenhower, had already ceded that void to the Russians.
They held US forces back on the wishes of Joe Stalin and his Soviet agents of influence like America's Co-President Harry Hopkins and Treasury's Harry Dexter White. (Recent good reading on the subject is Diana West's "American Betrayal.")
