New Accounts Reveal General George Patton May Have Been Killed By The U.S. Government

A stunning new book reveals the diary entries of a man who directed an American intelligence agency which later became the CIA.

First-hand accounts and evidence reveal that General George Patton, hero of the Battle of the Bulge, may have been assassinated by his own government.

Patton strongly distrusted the Soviet Union, the author writes, and knew secrets about other generals and political leaders that could have ended the career of Dwight Eisenhower among others. That made him a likely target for pro-USSR factions in the intelligence community.

More from The Telegraph:

Military historian Robert Wilcox claims that OSS head General “Wild Bill” Donovan ordered a highly decorated marksman called Douglas Bazata to silence Patton, who gloried in the nickname “Old Blood and Guts”.

His book, “Target Patton”, contains interviews with Mr Bazata, who died in 1999, and extracts from his diaries, detailing how he staged the car crash by getting a troop truck to plough into Patton’s Cadillac and then shot the general with a low-velocity projectile, which broke his neck while his fellow passengers escaped without a scratch.

Mr Bazata also suggested that when Patton began to recover from his injuries, US officials turned a blind eye as agents of the NKVD, the forerunner of the KGB, poisoned the general.

Mr Wilcox told The Sunday Telegraph that when he spoke to Mr Bazata: “He was struggling with himself, all these killings he had done. He confessed to me that he had caused the accident, that he was ordered to do so by Wild Bill Donovan.

“Donovan told him: ‘We’ve got a terrible situation with this great patriot, he’s out of control and we must save him from himself and from ruining everything the allies have done.’ I believe Douglas Bazata. He’s a sterling guy.”

The driver of the truck was whisked away to London before he could be questioned and no autopsy was performed on Patton’s body.

With the help of a Cadillac expert from Detroit, Mr Wilcox has proved that the car on display in the Patton museum at Fort Knox is not the one Patton was driving.

“That is a cover-up,” Mr Wilcox said.

Maybe it sounds far-fetched. But remember, if anyone tells you the government never tells a lie…HOLD ‘EM IN THE NOSE, AND KICK ‘EM IN THE A**!
