The Day the 344th Stopped Patton
snip
He stopped Patton's advance dead Patton now had to do a go around through
deep
chasms slowing his advance quite seriously. Of course, for some strange
reason
Patton had no intention of being a good sport about this innocent little
mishap
on poor AA's part. There was all hell to pay. But the furor finally died
down
and Robinson just kept flying missions. But he never salvoed again. AA,
wherever you are today, I hope you are reading this. We can have nothing
but
admiration for the man that could do what the Germans could never do,
bring
Patton to a halt.
For 10 days, while the smoke rose over the death camps.
Two days actually and he was nowhere near the camps. Now tell us what you did
in the great war sniveling coward
