Correct. Married Eva Braun's sister thus making him Hitler's brother-in-law. Your turn.

Re: Name that general! (with written questions too)
Is that a single star on Patton's Helmet? Must be way back. LOL. Lucius Clay.....I was thinking of Lucian Truscott.
How about Lloyd Fredendall?

Re: Name that general! (with written questions too)
Not Fredendall. I think Patton is wearing the stars of a MajGen, he should have been a MG at the time this picture was made. The picture was made in the CONUS, while Patton was in command of the 2nd Armored Division.
The general in question had a major influence on US armored doctrine and armor production.

Unusual to see a General in a beret perhaps? I wonder what colour it is? |
