Buy THE 3RD ARMY PATTON’S OWNN

Used as a decoy by the Allies before Operation “Overlord”, the 3rd Army will enter history during the liberation of France – notably thanks to its fiery “boss”, General George S. Patton, and in its role as spearhead of the Allied armies until 1945. Participating in the exploitation of the breakthrough in Normandy and towards Paris, the 3rd Army will then stumble on the Moselle and the Metz region, where it will not succeed. to progress only after final efforts and in Dantean conditions. The embodiment of “mechanized cavalry” with its tactics combining speed and striking force, the 3rd Army will reach the borders of Czechoslovakia. But beyond the legend born from Patton's personality, the unit will also be one of the most impressive in the US Army, and not only because of its record: after the Lorraine campaign, it is the 4th Armored Division which will rush towards Bastogne in order to help the American troops who are in difficulty there by the “Wacht am Rheim” operation.
