General Patton (1885–1945) was one of the most famous Generals in American history. After the war, when Germany came under Allied occupation, General Patton became the military governor of Bavaria. He didn't like what he saw. The Allies were not treating the Germans properly. He became outspoken about the wrongs he was witnessing and being forced to commit against them. The official story is questioned by many historians. Patton was questioning what the Allies were doing in Germany and he had considerable influence. He could have caused a lot of trouble for them. The possibility that Patton was assassinated by his own government is very plausible. A year after Patton's death his wife Beatrice died one week after announcing she would release hundreds of Patton's personal papers regarding the war. She died in a freak horse riding accident, breaking her neck. Quite a coincidence eh?
