The film, World War II Remembered: Patton - Old Blood & Guts (Volume One), is a documentary focused on one of the most storied generals to come out of World War II.  This video is part of the "World War II Remembered" series focused on telling the stories of the greatest warriors and weapons of modern man.  Volume One of this series explores General George S. Patton who was one of the greatest battlefield commanders in American history.  This documentary follows General Patton from his first battlefield encounters with the famed German Africa Corps in North Africa in 1942 to his later campaign in Sicily in 1943 and ultimately to his campaigns in Western Europe in 1944 and 1945.  General George S. Patton was both a brilliant field commander and an outspoken personality.  He is perhaps best known through his slapping of an enlisted man who was suffering from "shell shock" and thought by General Patton to be a coward.  On a more positive note, during the German Battle of the Bulge offensive in December 1944, General Patton's Third Army executed a 90-degree turn while engaged with the enemy south of the Ardennes forest and managed to within days relieve the beleaguered American 101st Airborne division at Bastogne.  This video is sure to appeal to anyone interested in military history or in the career of one of the greatest generals of all time.  Full screen in black and white.  Release date 1995.  Runtime 60 minutes.
