After the
Normandy Invasion, Patton led the U. S. Third Army in France advancing rapidly and keeping the pressure on the Germans. At the Battle of the Bulge, he disengaged his entire army, turned them, and marched to the relief of the besieged Americans at Bastogne---a feat that is still considered one of the greatest in military history. His Army crossed the Rhine in March 1945, and would be in Czechoslovakia when the war concluded. He died in December 1945 from injuries sustained in a car accident.
