Patton - Accident and deathOn December 9th, a day before he was due to return to the United States, Patton was severely injured in a road accident. He and Gen Hap Gay were on a daytrip to hunt pheasants in the country, outside Mannheim. It was a cold, wet, hazy December morning. Their 1939 Cadillac Model 75 was driven by PFC Horace Woodring. Patton sat in the back seat, on the right with Gen. Gay to his left, as per custom. At 11:45 near Necker Stadt (Käfertal) a 2 1/2 ton truck driven by T/5 Robert L.

| | | | | hagiographic: Encyclopedia II - George S. Patton - The interwar years While on duty in Washington, D.C. in 1919, Patton met and became close friends with Dwight D. Eisenhower, who would play an enormous role in Patton's future career. In the early 1920s, Patton petitioned the U.S. Congress to appropriate funding for an armored force, but had little luck doing so. Patton also wrote professional articles on tank and armored car tactics, suggesting new methods to use these weapons. He also continued working on improvements to tanks, coming up with innovations in radio communication and tank mounts. However, with ...

| | | | | hagiographic: Encyclopedia II - George S. Patton - World War I At the onset of the USA's entry to World War I, General Pershing promoted Patton to the rank of Captain. While in France under the Third Republic, Patton requested that he be given a combat command and Pershing assigned him command within the newly formed U.S. Tank Corps. Depending on the source, he either led the U.S. Tank Corps., led the British, or was an observer at the Battle of Cambrai, the first battle where tanks were used as a significant force. As the U.S. Tank Corps did not take part in this battle and it is extremely unlikely tha ...

| | | | | hagiographic: Encyclopedia II - George S. Patton - Education Patton attended Virginia Military Institute for one year, then transferred to West Point. He flunked out after plebe year with Courtney Hodges (both "found deficient" in mathematics), but reentered to graduate in 1909.
Patton was an intelligent child, intensively studying classical literature and military history from a young age, but likely suffered from an undiagnosed case of dyslexia, the consequences of which would haunt him throughout his schooling. He learned to read at a very late age as a child, and never learned basic skills ...

| | | | | hagiographic: Encyclopedia II - George S. Patton - The movie George Patton was the focus of the 1970 Academy Award-winning movie Patton, with the title role played by George C. Scott. As a result of the movie and its now-famous opening monologue (based on a real speech he often made to Third Army troops before the Normandy invasion), in popular culture Patton has come to symbolize a warrior's ferocity and aggressiveness. Although the movie is based upon Ladislas Farago's "Patton: Ordeal and Triumph" and Omar Bradley's "A Soldier's Story," historians have stated the movie's accuracy could be tin ...

| | | | | hagiographic: Encyclopedia II - Persecution of Christians - Persecution of Christians by Christians Upon the establishment of official ties between the state and Christianity, the state and the Church turned their considerable negative attention to those deemed heretics, although who was and was not a heretic could alter with the winds of political change. The first nonconforming Christian executed was Priscillian. Many 4th century examples of such a situation involved Arianism, which held, against the orthodox tradition, that Jesus was not "one in unity with the Father", but instead was a ...

Over the next few decades, thousands of Christians died. In the 3rd and 4th centuries, Christian missionaries, most successfully Ulfilas converted the Goths to Arian Christianity, which the Goths saw as an attack on their religion and culture. The Visigoth King Athanaric began persecuting Christi ...

Persecution of Christians - Persecutions narrated in the New Testament.
According to the New Testament, Jesus' crucifixion was authorized by Roman authorities and carried out by Roman soldiers. The New Testament also records that Paul on his missions was imprisoned on several occasions by the Roman authorities. Once he was stoned and left for dead. Finally he was taken as a prisoner to Rome. The New Testament account does not say what then became of Paul, but Christian tradition reports that he was executed in Ro ...

Christian churches were obliged to accept the racist doctrines of Nazism. The Gestapo monitored Christian clergy and congregations for any semblance of dissent with Nazi policies, and many Christian clergy and laymen ended up in concentration camps when they asserted ...
