****HE WAS THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL AMERICAN GENERAL IN WORLD WAR TWO--AND ALSO ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSSFUL, COURAGEOUS, AND AUDACIOUS.  AS A POST WAR ADMINISTRATOR OF DEFEATED GERMANY, HE SOUNDED ALARM BELLS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF SOVIET ENCROACHMENT INTO EUROPE.  POLITICALLY, HE WAS A LIGHTNING ROD--AN OUTSPOKEN CONSERVATIVE WHO CONTINUALLY EMBARRASSED HIS SUPERIOR WITH HIS UNCENSORED, UNDIPLOMATIC, AND UNRESTRAINED COMMENTS TO PRESS.  HE WAS GENERAL GEORGE S. PATTON JR., OLD BLOOD AND GUTS.                                                                                                                         IN 1945, SHORTLY BEFORE HE WAS TO FLY HOME TO THE STATES AS A CONQUERING HERO, HE WAS INVOLVED IN A MYSTERIOUS CAR CRASH THAT LEFT HIM PARTIALLY PARALYZED.                                                                                                          TWO WEEKS LATER, JUST AS HIS DOCTORS WERE ABOUT TO SEND HIM HOME TO FINISH HIS RECOVERY, HE WAS DEAD!  THE ARMY RULED THE CAR CRASH AN ACCIDENT, HIS DEATH NATURAL. YET WITNESS TESTIMONY ON THE CRASH CONFLICTED, KEY PLAYERS IN THE INCIDENT DISAPPEARED, OFFICIAL REPORTS VANISHED, SOLDIERS WERE ORDERED TO KEEP SILENT, AND THERE WAS NO AUTOPSY PERFORMED ON THE BODY!

                        WAS HE ASSINATED OR WAS IT AN ACCIDENT?
