 At the height of the Ardennes Bulge battle, it was rumored that picked German troops had special orders to come after Patton.

And most were proud to be in his Army.
 Why?
 think it was because he had such tremendous vitality, and such com plete confidence. He never saw the day when he didn't know that he could lick the other guy.
 And, despite his reckless reputa- tion, in battle he seldom wasted lives. He took big chances only when he knew it was reasonably safe to take them. He thought that the Third Army was the best in the world, and he made his men feel it.
 He once said, why. Julius Caesar wouldn't have been but one-star general in the Third Army"
 He always admired skilled and daring fighting. Speaking of one armored division lieutenant, he said: Hes a good man, and hell get killed. All the good ones get killed"
 Despite his supreme confidence Patton had great respect for the Germans as fighters. Once, around Metz, he said, They're valorous bastards. You must give them credit for that"
 Another time, earlier in the push through France, he told correspond ents half serious, half jokingly give me 30 German colonels and I'll win this war tomorrow.
