The Patton Papers

Via govorilkin

 

 Translated poorly from Russian.  No beating around the bush, he.:)

 Russians:

"The Russians are mongols. They are Slavs and a lot of them used to be ruled by ancient Byzantium. From Genghis Kahn to Stalin, they have not changed. They never will and we will never learn, at least, not until it is too late."

 "Our difficulty in understanding the Russian based on the fact that we do not take into account the fact that the Russian did not Europeans, Asians, and therefore distorted thinking. Russian us no easier to understand than Chinese or Japanese, but having seen them, I me and there was no particular desire to understand them, but to find out how much lead or iron need to destroy them. Except the rest of his possessing the qualities Russian not value human life, and they are all sons of bitches, barbarians, and chronic drunks. "

Arabs:

"To me it is obvious that the fatalistic teachings of Mohammed and the complete degradation of women - the main cause of slow development Arabs. Arab today is the same as it was in 700, and in that time we have evolved."

Jews:

"Animals ... subhuman species, not the past cultural and social process of our time"

  1. A great tactical general and a decent strategic one, but Patton had a myriad of problems. I've read several books on him and own a few, including one by his son who was also a general. But I'll sya this right now about George S Patton, he was NO friend of liberty and of the Republic. He would have fought for the devil himself if offered a field command. Simply put, Patton loved war, the bloodier the better. To him it was the ultimate test of all things he considered manly and even gentlemanly. I admire his knowledge and art of war, as he was one of the best, but he was a sick deranged man. There are many masochistic stories about him.

    1. & add the Bonus March to his shame as well as MacArthur's and Eisenhower's. He learned about the WBTS as a child from The Grey Ghost after the War, by the way.
