The Patton Mystery

Overview

On 10 December 1945, the most controversial soldier of the Second World War was riding through Germany in his jeep. On his way to a pheasant shoot near Mannheim, the great American General was involved in an automobile accident. After a week in hospital, he seemed to be on the road to recovery but suddenly died in his sleep. Had he been helped on his way to prevent further embarrassment at a time of growing tension in post war Europe? Could Stalin's agents have been involved?
