From: http://www.pbs.org/greatspeeches/timeline/ George Patton, speaking on film, urges war support, Los Angeles, CA, June 9, 1945: "Your honorable mayor, General Doolittle, soldiers, ladies and gentlemen: Coming over here there was a very great lesson: The first four hours we passed over a destroyed land, utterly destroyed. You who have not seen it, do not know what hell looks like from the top. That's what Germany looks like. That's what Austria looks like. That's what any place that the 8th Airforce and the 3rd Army worked on looks like. You must remember this, that from Brest to various towns in southern Germany and Austria whose names I can't pronounce but whose places I have removed, the trail of the 3rd Army and the 19th Tactical Air Command and the 8th Airforce is marked by more than 40 thousand white crosses, 40 thousand dead Americans." --- Dave Hug <davey@lightspeed.net> wrote: > Just after the war ended, General Patton gave a > speech at the LA Coliseum. > It could have been 4th of July, 1946, I don't know. > I was there.
