Good and simple question, no short answer. I've been researching this for quite some time. A very good new book out goes [IMO] 85% of the way 'there'. He goes 99.5% of the way proving that Patton was murdered, but falls-down on the why [what I'm working on]. The book is called Target: Patton by Wilcox. You can find it easily. As to the why.....well, I don't have all day to go into. The short version is [IMHO] Patton in his drive through Germany saw and heard a bit 'too much' for his own health. Some examples [far from complete]. He was in the mine where the Nazis had put much of their looted money, gold, art and knew that most of that didn't make it 'home' nor to the US Treasury [i.e. stolen by what became the CIA et al]. He was in Hitler's secret bunker near Ohrdruf and what was in there and in other underground Nazi facilities has been covered up. [His and other's deaths helped in this regard], and he wanted to keep his troops advancing to Prague and then on to Moscow and this would upset others plans and deals. He knew about some of the hanky-panky between OSS/CIA/CIC and Nazis at and after end of War. He also knew about an American secret raid on the territory of a friendly nation after the War and its hidden secrets - and more. It is MUCH more complex than that, but that is the brief outline. He made it known to some friends all of the above upset him and he was going to speak-out and write about it. It seems Donovan likely gave the OK, and may have had help from the Ruskies - so don't believe all you've been told :vollkommenauf: [I know you don't.]
Thanks Peter.
