the offer went to the patton family. while beatrice is debating this, keys said, you know what, he really should be buried with his men. beatrice said, that's it, exactly. they end up burying him in hamm, luxembourg. this is george meeks' assistant. he cried through the whole ceremony. but, you know, planes would fly in during the funeral. the trains would slow down for about 20 years after that, every time they passed by the cemetery. but patton was buried in a common grave. but over the years, so many people trekked through just to see his grave, they had to move it to the front of the cemetery. i had mentioned jean gordon, patton had the affair with, after his death beatrice went to his brother-in-law and said, i would like to have a meeting with jean gordon. but i want it to be a surprise. don't tell her i'm asking for this. he said, sure. so jean gordon shows up in the office. and there's beatrice. she kind of stands there. and jean gordon is shocked. and beatrice lays out an hawaiian curse on her. one that, may the

patton. nobody's saying, this might lead somewhere bad, you know. this is accepted behavior by george s. patton. in the movie "patton," you might be familiar with the fact that his assistant, not charles, but dick jensen gets killed when a german bomb drops and the concussion kills, in both patton's letters, bradley's memoir, and bradley's assistant's letters, they all say dick jensen had been ordered by patton to go off to something called ben sen force, and while he was there, the germans attacked, bradley was there, the assistant was there, they saw him get killed by the bomb that gets dropped. about a year ago, i found an account by a soldier that i believe is true, because i've got proof to back it up, who said that was all a lie. that patton on his own decided to move his headquarters closer to the front. this guy's name was bob cohn. he was a jeep driver for patton's entourage. they said they all drove out in the desert. they had all the wires coming from the cars. they said we're perf

around and charge patton. he says he had to duck behind the house and reload his pistol and he says there were sparking flying from the gravel, dust from the adobie walls and they eventually kill all three. pattons after that he carried two ivory-handled pistols so he wouldn't have to stop and reload. this is something he stops in world war ii but at the time he was double pistols. they kill all three. i just found this out in my research, its not in any book, that when they went to look although the bodies and dead horses they found blankets marked 13th cavalry. they knew they were the guys that went into columbus, new mexico, that were part of the raid. patton has his soldiers strap the dead bodies to the hood of the car like war trophies and bring them back to pershing's headquarte headquarters. he went up and cut the telephone wires because he says they could see locals gathering and they were getting nervous so they cut the telephone wires so word wouldn't get out. there is no record of what per shing tho

it really was patton's idea. and then he asked the chaplain, how many of these guys are going to sunday services? and he said, well, not enough, sir. and that was an element of the patton prayer was to get soldiers to go to church more to pray for the success of 3rd army. so yeah. it was very real about him and the lord. yes, sir. >> during the movie, there was a big point made about his belief in reincarnation. >> mm-hmm. >> one, is that true. and two, could you elaborate on that any more? >> yes, very true. in the movie in north africa, he drops to one knee and recites some poetry. the poem is called "through a glass and darkly." he kind of looks up at bradley and says you know who wrote that? i did. that poem is actually about 12 stanzas long. and in it each different stanza is about him in a different life in a different army in previous lives. when he goes to fight world war i and he first arrives in france, they tell him where his tank training area is going to be. he starts going down this road. and he see

i think patton kind of improved on it. november 11th, patton's birthday. 1944. he said he got up where the bodies were still warm. 3rd army was having a hard time crossing the mozel river. they created three bridges. they all get washed out. this is more weather than the germans, you know, stopping him. but they do cross at a place, and patton -- you know, this is his shadow right here taking this photograph. and the germans attacked leading off with an sp gun. and the american 90th infantry division stops him. and the officer in charge, they rolled up a cannon to a street intersection and knocked this thing off the road. and the one time i was there, my assistant tour guide is a retired one had of star general named raymond bell whose father fought right here and rolled up that gun. and there's a plaque to his dad. and while we were talking about it, i had my book with me. and i said, you know, ray, is it possible that this is the gun your dad knocked out? and so we walked out of the town and walked up the street and turned to the left, and the terrain looked a

patton and ike. >> go back to that table. who would have had the best personality at the table? >> ike. although ronald reagan was -- but i don't think he was any more a charmer or a good storyteller than ike was. ike was a natural. i would say it would be a cot n that respect and i'm not sure who would win, because that's a contest of the giants. >> who was the best leader? >> ike. ike. also you have to bear in mind that ike was not only the best leader, he was a man who led a most difficult and precarious coalition for almost four years from very shaky beginnings to a complete victory in europe. that takes a degree of leadership of a very special nature. i mean, serving under him prima do pre preprima donnas like patton and bradley, although ike is fond of bradley there are plenty of instances in the book where ike as we say in england tears the strip off bradley to the point that he's wiped in the battle of the bulge. ike gave bradley a bawling out such as no mad has ever heard. and henry kissinger told me when he came to the white house that nixon's national security adviser
