Patton's War Stories

Kevin Hymel will discuss five stories about General Patton. Starting with Patton's first day of war, November 8, 1942, the day he stepped onto Fadala Beach north of Casablanca in Morocco, Mr. Hymel will then address how Patton's aide-de-camp Captain Richard Jenson died in combat., the day Patton almost lost his life in Italy in January of 1944, the discovery that Patton did not predict the Battle of the Bulge, and Patton's bravery in swimming across a river under fire during a snowstorm in Luxembourg in January of 1945.
