How much of what we know about General George S. Patton comes from George C. Scott? Author James Ellman joins historian Jason Herbert to revisit the classic 1970 film Patton and challenge the legend of one of World War II’s most celebrated commanders.
Drawing on his book Patton Reconsidered and the general’s own diaries, Ellman makes a provocative case for reassessing “Old Blood and Guts.” From North Africa and Sicily to the Battle of the Bulge, we examine Patton’s battlefield achievements, his relationships with Dwight Eisenhower and Omar Bradley, and the powerful connections that helped protect his career.
Did the Germans really fear Patton? Did the 101st Airborne need rescuing at Bastogne? And what does Hollywood’s portrait leave out about his assaults on soldiers, racism, antisemitism, and response to the killing of prisoners of war?
Along the way, we discuss the disastrous Hammelburg raid, combat fatigue and military leadership, and the overlooked American commanders Ellman believes deserve more credit. It’s a candid conversation about World War II, war movies, and how America chooses—and keeps—its heroes.
