Featured review
Don't waste the time. Lacks any reasonable facts.
What a joke of a show. I watched the whole thing, but that was because it was like a train wreck in slow motion.
Vague, open-ended claims with zero factual backup, or statements like "it was said that...." fall out of the narrator's mouth left and right with shameless frequency.
It's as much a movie of Hero Worshipping as it is vaguely familiar to those ancient aliens shows: "Could it be....?" Well, sure, it "could be" but it's probably not.
Patton was a problem. He wasn't smeared. He was admired and feared, and was a horribly racist, narrow minded man who was drunk with power.
Sure, he was right about Stalin, but he himself spoke of world domination, saying that the Americans and British were destined to rule the world literally right after he helped defeat a man bent on the same thing.
He was a loose cannon with a genius for showmanship and strategy.
Remind you of anyone, oh, say between 2016 and 2021 and a bad comb over?
Patton was hugely dangerous.
