The Only American General to Rise From Private to Four Stars and Command Europe

The Only American General to Rise From Private to Four Stars and Command Europe. Most people can name Patton or Eisenhower without thinking twice, but this American General fought longer, harder, and across more of Europe than either one, and almost nobody remembers his name today. If you had been thrown out of West Point for failing one class, would you have quit, or would you have enlisted as a private and clawed your way back in anyway. Tell us in the comments if your father or grandfather ever served under this General, or if you had ever even heard this story before watching today. We would genuinely like to know how a record this large gets forgotten this completely. #WWII #WW2History #AmericanGeneral #MilitaryHistory #WorldWarTwo #ForgottenHeroes 🔔 Subscribe here:    / @pattonswarstories   💬 We'd love to hear from you!
