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

For ten days actually, you forgot that I know someone who was there.

Not good enouigh coward. What did YOU do in the war?

How many men on the ground do you suppose it cost to buy that bridge intact,
old man? A few dozen maybe? You dishonor their sacrifice, when you make
out that what was done was no big deal. There is no humor whatsoever, in
what the 344th did that day.
