In The Patton Papers, General George S. Patton wrote in a September 1945 diary entry about Jewish displaced persons:“We are also having to fight the Jews apparently. They are worse than animals and act like animals.”

>>18496809A shame such a disgusting bigoted person was in so important a role.You know, there was a funny tidbit about him in the book "A Life of Privilege, Mostly" by Gardner Botsford, which is a memoir from a lieutenant in the first infantry about his experience during and after Normandy. Towards the end of the war he's driving a jeep up a forest road when a group of MP's on motorbikes flag him down and tell him to pull over. Shortly after he sees Patton in a jeep drive by, saying that he could see Patton's uniform was freshly laundered and pressed, his helmet had been lacquered, and he was sitting in the car turning his head this way and that in an exaggerated way to make a show of himself surveying all around him. Essentially he felt it looked more like a float in a parade than anything else, a parody of what a patrolling general should look like.Shortly after he passed them by, Patton's Jeep stopped and came back to their Jeep. Patton got out and asked who was in command. The author identified himself to the General, and was told that he had to pay a fine of $50 to him personally and the army for being out of uniform since he didn't have any rank insignia on his uniform. He explained that in his unit on the front line nobody wore rank insignia because of snipers, but Patton said he could either pay the $100 or face court martial. So he paid him. Though he said that he held back on the desire to invite Patton to visit the front lines "if he wanted to make some real money."
