Talk:George S. Patton slapping incidents

Patton quote re shell schock
I've warned User:97.80.133.29 about edit warring re this. I have reintroduced the assertion re Patton's remark about shell shock being "an invention of the Jews" to the article here, and have cited a number of supporting sources which are previewable online. I have changed the wording of the assertion because I couldn't confirm details from the Antony Beevor source earlier cited inline because I could not find an online previewable copy of that source. I think this meets WP:V; whether it belongs in the article is another matter. Please discuss its removal here if needed rather than edit warring about it.

Main page article sentence structure on Patton
The following sentence is ill-written: "Patton struck another soldier complaining of "nerves" at another hospital seven days later and threatened him with a pistol for being a "whimpering coward"; in fact, the soldier had been begging to rejoin his unit." It is not the other hospital that has the nerves but the soldier. It would be better reading as the following: "At another hospital seven days later, Patton struck another soldier complaining of "nerves" and threatened him with a pistol for being a "whimpering coward"; in fact, the soldier had been begging to rejoin his unit."Srednuas Lenoroc (talk) 01:25, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

1942 ?
When did the Invasion of Sicily take place? Wasn't it June 1943? Why this article states 1942? The Yeti 08:32, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * US military entry into the Mediterranean commenced with the North African invasion (Operation Torch) November 1942. Invasion of Sicily in June 1942 would've been impossible, so yes -- 1943. --Diogenes5845 (talk) 14:47, 28 June 2016 (UTC)


 * uh, July 1943 - see Operation Husky DMorpheus2 (talk) 14:59, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Anyway, some anonymous guy fixed it right after my original post. The Yeti 08:25, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Axelrod
The Axelrod biography is highly biased and inaccurate, and a number of the cited “facts” in the article are incorrect and opposed by numerous other references. It would be good if someone were to check and correct a number of these, particularly that Payton was the most feared General in Europe (in fact the German high command barely knew his name) and that his being in command of FUSAG was integral to the deception plan for D-Day.
