"On a damp, dreary Christmas Eve 70 years ago, as Europe recovered from the cataclysm of World War II, the Allies laid to rest one of the war’s most famous American generals in a cemetery in Luxembourg." "Patton, one of the war’s most aggressive and controversial American generals, had suffered a broken neck in an automobile fender bender in Germany on Dec. 9, 1945. He was paralyzed from the neck down, and died Dec. 21. He was 60."
An unfitting end to a great man.
