Interesting documentary on silencing Patton last night.

This was on Amazon and titled "Silence Patton."

There's a theory that Patton's death "by car accident" was set up to keep him from spilling his guts about mistakes made during the war. While still in Europe, he had indicated that he would tell some stories when he got back here, and that Eisenhower, Bradley, and even FDR didn't want that to happen. For one thing, according to the doc, they wanted to forge an alliance with Russia because both countries were against the fascists.

Not sure where that goes, but it was an interesting watch.
