Summary

In this special collab episode, Andrew from History for Weirdos (check them out here) dives deep into the fascinating life and military career of one of America's most legendary—and controversial—generals, George S. Patton. From his early exploits hunting Pancho Villa in Mexico, to his pioneering work in tank warfare during World War I, and his legendary leadership in World War II, Patton's aggressive tactics and fiery personality made him both revered and reviled. Andrew meticulously explores Patton’s triumphs, infamous controversies—including the soldier-slapping incidents—and his clashes with U.S. leadership during the tense post-war occupation of Germany. But the weirdness doesn't stop there! In the second half of the episode, Dani from the Rabbit Hole: Conspiracy Theories podcast joins the show to investigate the strange circumstances surrounding Patton’s mysterious death on December 21, 1945. Was the car accident that ended Patton’s life really just a tragic coincidence, or was there something darker at play? Danielle shares the most intriguing theories and unexplained details, making this an episode you definitely don't want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
