patton is faced with a formation after he attacks on the 22nd, every 1.5 days. he has to find a way to create reserves, generate combat power to gain ground. the other day, he achieves his mission, he sustains casualties at a rate just about equal to what the germans have sustained about 1.2-one, which speaks to the brutality of the opposition , conditions and train. but, at the end of the day, he did what he was ordered to do. finally, i will say that i do think that he was actually capable of more and i think, although he was in my opinion the highest card in the deck, he could've been used human better and given different circumstances could have east otto more superior performance in circuit and circumstances -- in certain circumstances. do hope you get a chance to read it its operational history , it's the hardest history have written, because, to actually tease out the nuggets, it's like mining for gold, to actually understand, it's a marathon not a sprint in terms of understanding. i think i've achieve that in the book and if that's your forte i think you

patton had a radically different concept. he wanted to shape the battlefield differently put tremendous pressure on one of the anchors, force the germans to make decisions and seize the initiative from there. at the end of the day, i think his course of action in the south was more than viable. if he did not actually physically attack the terrain corridor on the southern anchor for the germans, he could have certainly put tremendous pressure on them there which would have had cascading effects at the operational level. this book is ultimately an operational study and i wanted to understand how patton actually planned adjusted to changed circumstances and brought his combat power to bear. at the end of the day, the actions that are taken by the germans, when the spearhead fails in the north, all the combat power of the german army filters south in patton's path so after the 26th when he relieves baston, the story doesn't end. unfortunately, most of the dhur dhur -- literature ends there. yay! the battle's over, 101st has been

patton, who is known as a very animated officer, he's on foot. shovel off of one of the tanks and he teaches his men and encourages them to use a lot of profanity. he has them dating out of the trenches. eventually they had forward. patton is hit by a machine gun blast, most likely from somewhere around this area. >> he was fighting in the fields firingere, most of the was coming from the slopes. >> he shot in the leg near the groin. aides grabs him, is able to drag him in while the machine guns are blasting all around, places him in a shell hole and they begin medical treatment. literally they are able to save his life. the fighting is going on. a long time for the aim illness to finally reach patton. rough bumpyong journey back to the rear. to a field hospital and eventually a general hospital. the morning of the first day attack, the battle and the wars over for george patton. didn't he come back here at some point and photographs? >> he took a photograph from where he thinks the location of the shell hole was. ,t seems to be somewhere here cl

george patton wrote to his wife and father about service with the tank core. one of the letters is highly controversial, george patton earned a distinguished service cross in world war i. he was a commander on foot the tanks on the right flank there were infantrymen tied down by machine gun fire. the officers were dead and george patton, with his immediate staff, tried to get infantrymen to advance against this machine go. they wouldn't do it and he went on to get a machine got bullet in his attempt to charge the machine gun gautama dsc, but he wrote his wife after the event i think i killed an american soldier, he wouldn't advance and i had to whack him over the head with a shovel. that incident, if it had ever been reported, to the chain of command, probably would have resulted in a court-martial. finally, of all the books written is no other book been written . >> if you're interested to how this work from senior leaders down to the tank was, you want to consider adding this book to your personal library or recommending it to a friend or colleague who is in

patton. we are standing in front of the missouri monument, which honors the troops from missouri, many of them have served in the 35th division, which is one of the national guard divisions. one of its most famous members was a battery commander, and artillery commander by the name of captain harry s. truman. the 35th division fought directly in this area. about four miles back of the front, they were firing toward the hill. can you point us about the significance why the americans attacked that hill. guillaume: it is an observation position used by the germans. finally, the frontline will stabilize just on top and we will switch into a mine war. for three and a half years, we have a heavy battle going on, especially an underground war. then the french were relieved. by soldiers of the 35th. the first ground they had to takeate, of course to dominating ground, and then they could see what's going on. some small woods including the wood of cheppy. mitchell: finally making their -- captain harr

patton, his first officer tasked to join the tank corps and start setting up training. he was a captain on general pershing's staff and within a year, he was a temporary colonel. he deserves a lot of credit to which was dealt with in personal expense reports about how patton helped things get mobilized for training, but they were at greater disadvantages in europe trying to get literature translated from the french to figure out what kind of tactic they should follow and even getting equipment. they were at a much greater this advantage in the continental united states because they do not have the equipment they were going to be using in europe and they certainly may have been translating french manuals and the doctrine on their own, but they were doing it independent of what the aef was doing. i do not know that answers your question. >> other comments or questions? >> i have two questions. your discussion of tankers. it is kind of interesting, up in gettysburg, there is a tourist and you get some of the guys up there and taking charge, and made it very difficult, but

and tom patton says, "i'm going with you."s a power gas issue at 625 morse street. as we're walking up, the garage door was up, and there is a guy standing in the garage door. he's a plumber. we show him the pictures of patty and wendy. he says i don't know if it's them or not, but he says there's two women upstairs. well heard them giggling. tom patton is the senior guy. he made the decision. he said i'm going to go to the back door. when he gets there, the door is open. it's a warm day. and wendy is sitting at the table with patty hearst. >> tom patton says "fbi." but what does patty hearst do? does she run into their arms and say thank you so much for saving me? no. she runs towards the bedroom where the guns are stored. >> he'd seen the firearms and the bombs at another location. now she is in an area where we can't observe her. he put the gun to wendy's head and said i'm going to kill her if you don't come back. >> it's only because the agents and cops acted quickly in that apartment that there was not a hail of gunfire t

noting, patton wrote poetry about world war i.the war, if you were trying to get out of service, you were a slacker. it was the worst thing to be. hatton's poem called the slacker, traffics in the kind of thing you would imagine. he compares them to vermin and rats. earlier in the exhibit, we have another poem about armistice he wrote. he was not super happy about peas coming. it's not good, certainly interesting. it's worth a look. women, there's a moment that occurs during the war. the suffragist movement had been going on for many years. california had already giving women the right to vote. there was no national amendment. 1916, they believe it is what california that swung the vote for woodrow wilson. some people said women voting in california is what put him over the top. there are two schools of thought about the suffragist movement when the war comes. capn like carrie chapman who believed that, the best answer to the war is to drop the demand for suffrage at the moment and dedicate ourselves to mobilization. the women's c

the tank commander of the american tank force developed it, his name was george f patton became very famous for the next war followed but there was a fellow training american troops in pennsylvania and the operation of tanks and his name was dwight eisenhower. captain eisenhower was involved in the use of tanks during world war i. the 37 millimeter gun on the tank was used in a tacking fortifications and machine gun tanks picked they had a machine gun and they had the actual 37 millimeter gun in the museum. this tank is one of three known french ft 17 tanks known to exist that were battled and damaged. it was hit and luckily for us to have it here, it was a shrapnel shell that hit the tank and not high explosive tank we don't know what happened to the crew but we know that three of the men that worked on the tank trying to prepare it was from kansas city. you can find the names on the inside of the drivers patches on the tank. the ft 17 tank played an important role in one of the most famous heroes of world war i. we are going to look.. one of the hundred 20 americans awarded the med

however, a number of people who participated, including george patton -- who got injured the first dayare a number of items in our history project stream throughout, but particularly irving greenwald, he was a printer in his life before the war. he narrated his experience at the front right up to the meuse-argonne. he had a lost battalion, which actually was not lost. the troops were isolated. they did find a way to make it out eventually. he provides a cogent and descriptive experience of what it was like up until that point. but also, physical remnants of a war we fear is being forgotten. even though it had such big effects. that being said, it is worth highlighting a couple of other things. here you have a number of -- these were recently acquired, these are just postcards of african-american soldiers. this was common for both white and african-american soldiers. these pictures were often converted into postcards. some of these were taken domestically. some were taken abroad in europe. what is significant is there are about 350,000 african-americans who go overseas to serve. mostly

it's about understanding changes in technology it's about understanding there are changes and work patton's for understanding that we're going to go through a period when lifelong learning is necessary and so on so this is something which we need to do with or without it so you're talking about from the would you said talking about liam fox already but i mean as pearson which which backs. that the vote must be respected in your campaigning for a second river and well i did respect. i campaigned very hard back in june twenty sixth for i remain outcome we didn't get one and i accept that that's what the people wanted to do which is leave now what's changed is that the brics it will likely to get under the deal it's currently on the table is not really what anyone voted for back in twenty sixteen. it puts our country i think into a position which. largely a rule take it but not rule maker it puts us into a situation where we're not going to house the kind of trade links that we should necessarily have with the european union and so on i think that people voted for bracks it for a number of rea

we talk about general patton and any of the other unit commanders or ulysses grant, incurred a lot of casualties. nobody got close to robert e lee. if you interesting men -- infantry, you had 71 percent casualty. grant is not even in the same neighborhood as that. and yet, robert e lee 's army stayed entirely loyal to him through the war. then after the war until 1870. and in his memory just kept getting burnished even more. here is a guy if you look at results, he had a huge casualty rate. and he lost. not a small thing. and yet, the loyalty to him, and part of it was how he was. he was a charismatic, devoted person. he was loyal to his people, personally courageous with them. all of the things that make us feel good about working for someone or around someone. d.robert ely epitomizes that. immediately after his death, there was just this series of extraordinary platitudes that described him as the tegreatest american general. by franklin roosevelt, anwinsto churchill. just really iconic members of our history putting lee in a category by himself. >> in terms of other people, you men

he admired him at the beginning, made him feel marshal very early on in 1944 to fury of patton and omar broadly and various other people that wanted to be five-star generals at the moment that weren't. he then thought that monte got too big for his boots, which he most definitely had, had befriended moonty in the post-war period, and then to a great degree i think monte went stayed at chatwell, 78 times in the course of the postwar and then he fell out with monte again. he said of his relationship they were like two old birds pecking each other, but ultimately there was a great deal of respect and admiration. the first part of the question can you repeat that? of course like everybody else churchill liked ike, but wanted the other to within the 1952 election. and he was nervewracked because he thought eisenhower wasn't going to pursue the policy of nuclear appeasement that he wanted to proceed towards the russians after the russians exploded their nuclear bomb in 1849. at that point the anti-soviet winston churchill of course had been pro-soviet during the war and anti-soviet in 1946 at

patton. he fought prominently. susan: here again, there was no air force, this was the army air corps? how significant was their contribution to the effort? mitchell: well, a really depended on the battle, as you can see it is often cloudy in northern france. sometimes planes did not get up into the air because the cloud cover was so low. bombing was in its infancy, but planes would have been used more for reconnaissance alerting the troops. the artillery where the enemy was, or where there was a large concentration of enemy trucks. they mentioned the barrage, the idea of the barrage was an artillery fire that provides some cover for the american troops. they would time it so the him artillery would go ahead of the troops and move it forward. it did not always work out that way and you did have instances of friendly fire. allison: a lot of the battlefields we are seeing that the americans fought over in 1918 have been used already for years by the german and french before the united states got there. these are not

number of wildfires in california does seem to be picking up, how can you, if that's going to be the pattonousand five departments throughout the state who work as one when these things develop. and is no fire season left in california, it is all year round now. we had 350 wildfires start last year that no—one knows about because we we re year that no—one knows about because we were able to contain them to ten acres or less. we have the capability of pulling in from outside of california as well to bring in resources, especially the national guard. aircraft at this moment has not been a problem either as faras moment has not been a problem either as far as getting those resources in. as we get further into the year and hope things will slow down, last year, october and december last year we re year, october and december last year were fire seasons as well. we go and are aggressively pursuing to bring our porous back to the resiliency they need to be which will be a major project that we have always been doing, but we now have funds to really bolster them. so it is a twofold situation. as we
