General
Patton may have had a premonition of his own death
He
knew he was making enemies with his outspokenness regarding the dangers of
Communism, as well from his unique knowledge of high-level mistakes in the
conduct of the war in Europe.

Why did they have to placate Stalin? That I don't get.
Who were these 20,000? What were their families told? Yeah, this is
outrageous, and yes there is plenty more where that came from.
Not just these accounts, but I also came across a book where many
manufacturers of vital military equipment cut corners on quality control
yielding shoddy engine parts, etc. It's a miracle we won.

The American government was almost completely dominated by
leftists. Many of them believed that Communism was the model of the future.
They also had a notion that future world peace depended on developing a close
relationship with the Soviet Union. American officers were not allowed to
criticize Stalin or the Soviet government. Stalin bugged the rooms of the
allied leaders at Yalta, while Alger Hiss fed him all the conference strategy
papers prepared by the Americans and the British.
Allied leaders acquiesced to virtually every demand Stalin
made. He denied having any American POWs and they were unwilling to challenge
him on it, although they knew there were Americans being held in German camps
in the Soviet zones. The whole thing is unbelievable and outrageous.
Stalin outmaneuvered Roosevelt at every turn, demanded
everything and gave nothing. In addition, Roosevelt was in extremely poor
health (he died only a few months later) and should not have been allowed to
carry on the responsibility of participating in such a conference, in which he
negotiated away the freedom of tens of millions of people.
Another outrage was Roosevelt’s accession to Stalin’s demand
that all Soviet citizens in allied areas were to be repatriated to the Soviet
Union. The Red Army treated all troops captured by the enemy as traitors.
Repatriation meant execution on return to Russia.
In addition, millions of former residents of Soviet held areas
in Poland and the Ukraine and other ancillary areas had escaped to allied
territory and were living peacefully in camps in western Europe as displaced
persons, many of them under Patton’s supervision. Stalin demanded the
repatriation of all of these people, who he also regarded as traitors.
When General Patton learned of this decision, he was appalled,
and stalled on turning over these people. This is one of the things that got
him in hot water with Eisenhower. Patton appealed repeatedly to Eisenhower to
reverse this decision, knowing that these people would all be murdered if they
were returned to Russia. Eisenhower refused Patton’s pleas to save these
people, and gave Patton a direct order to ship the people out to Russia. Patton
was extremely disturbed by this order, and tried everything possible to avoid
having to carry it out. Eventually he complied with a heavy heart. Hundreds of
thousands of captured Soviet troops and refugees from Soviet areas, including
families with women and children, were shipped back to Russia in cattle cars,
where most were executed, and some were sent to labor camps in Siberia.
This is one of the issues that troubled Patton deeply. He
considered the Russians to be Barbarians, and felt that America would have to
fight them sooner or later. He felt that they were weak and poorly supported at
the end of the war. He told Eisenhower he could be in Moscow in thirty days,
and we would have no more problems with the Russians. From this, Eisenhower
concluded that Patton was insane. Patton, however, considered Eisenhower to be
weak, indecisive, and without principles. He was determined to expose
Eisenhower and to make sure that he could not be elected to public office.
At one famous joint celebration with the Russians, Marshall
Zhukov proposed a toast to Patton. Patton refused the toast and responded with
a strong insult to the Russian general, who was feared by his own people.
Zhukov never forgot that insult, and Patton learned from his OSS contact
Bazata, as well as from sources in the NKVD, that Zhukov had resolved that
Patton must be killed. Wilcox points out that faked vehicle accidents were one
of the favorite assassination techniques used by the NKVD.
Patton well knew that he had a bulls-eye on his back. There were
three unsuccessful attempts to assassinate him prior to the December 1945
“accident”. In one incident in the fall of 1945, Patton was up in a small
spotter plane surveying some of his installations when he was set up on by a
Polish Spitfire (the Poles were under Russian control at that time). The
Spitfire tried to shoot down Patton’s plane. It was only the skill of the
American pilot and his evasive maneuvers which saved Patton that day.
Robert Wilcox offers six primary arguments supporting the
conclusion that General Patton was assassinated, probably in a joint OSS-NKVD
operation:
1. Former American CIC (U.S. Army Intelligence) agent Stephen J.
Skubik was a credible witness with extensive experience in Eastern Europe.
Skubik claimed that he had uncovered an OSS-NKVD plot to assassinate Patton,
and his efforts to stop the plot were thwarted by OSS officers, especially OSS
Chief William Donovan. Skubik says he was warned THREE TIMES by the Ukrainians,
who had spies in the NKVD, that Patton was marked for death by its assassins.
2. There are too many missing records. All pertinent records
concerning Patton’s strange auto accident on December 9, 1945 cannot be found
and were most probably purged from U.S. files. At least five crucial records,
including the official accident report, along with witness interrogations and
follow-up investigations which were known to have existed have disappeared.
3. There is substantial evidence of malicious intent in what we
do know of Patton’s accident. The accident description given by the drivers
indicates that the Army truck that collided with Patton’s car may have been
lying in wait for Patton.
4. The car alleged to be the one that Patton was riding in when
injured, which is at the Patton Museum at Fort Knox, Kentucky, has been proven
to be a disguised and rebuilt replica by a Cadillac vintage model expert. In addition,
the car’s vehicle identification number has been scraped or filed off.
5. Crucial witnesses and principals in the accident were allowed
to disappear without adequate investigation.
6. Patton had escaped injury in no less than three earlier
accidents in the months prior to the one that claimed his life. All three
occurred under suspicious circumstances.
Patton seemed to have a premonition of his own death. In June of
1945 Patton flew home for a family visit. At his departure for his return to
Germany, he told his two young daughters that he did not think he would see
them again. Apparently he did not explain what he meant by that.
It seems to me that Patton sacrificed himself, knowing that it
would probably result in his own death, in order to protect the honor of his
country. His stubborn outspokenness was his last act of patriotism, trying to
warn his fellow Americans that things were not right in the American
government, that America had betrayed its own principles at the end of the war,
and that the American people were not being told the truth about what was being
done in their name.
The more I learn of the truth about World War II, the more I
admire the honorable generals like MacArthur, Patton and Chennault who
recognized the evil of Communism, and despise the weak political generals such
as Marshall, Eisenhower, Bradley, and Stillwell who were unwilling to stand up
to the politically correct leftist thinking coming out of Washington D.C.
So what has changed?
As to the missing POWs, the families were just told they were
MIA, just as in Vietnam.
