Thank you Sofi, for a delightful way to spend ten minutes of my day learning about one of my favorite generals of all time. This gentleman got it right, down to the last detail. I felt for a moment like I stepped back in time. I could actually imagine General Patton standing there giving orders to his commanders in the field. As a musician, I loved the music in the background, which enhanced the whole vibe. You did a beautiful job as always.🙂
When I was in track and field in middle and high school, I would always do practice runs on a steep road hill named Patton Way. I realized soon after that it was a road hill leading up to the house of General Patton's family in the small town of San Marino, CA. That hill kicked my butt every time I ran it as I'm sure Patton would have done to me!
What a great episode! It was cool to see the truck plus all the stuff that went with it! I saw something along these lines about Rommel’s command vehicle. It was a British AEC “Dorchester” of all things!
I think the real reason Patton didn't like the scramble phone would be that he'd have to explain what he was about to do rather than excuse himself after he did it. :D
HOLY SH*T! I am kitbashing a "Tom Daniel inspired" model of his mobile command post that I call "Patton's Powerwagon" to go with my "Rommel's Rod". It is totally made up and I had never seen Patton's command post but it seems that I was closer that I thought.
How the hell did I miss this the day it came out? damned you youtube! Nice to see people put that much effort into setting up a one off vehicle as it was.
Dang, this could have been longer. I could listen to him for a while. Always loved hearing about Patton. Wondering if you'll be showing this great historian some more?Great video. Thanks!
I've always been a Military History guy, one of my first books was "The Great War" about WWI and intended for youngsters followed by "The Red Badge of Courage" by Crane. I could read and write a bit BEFORE ever going to school. That being said, when I see you genuinely get happy and flash that smile, it actually makes me a little happier too. Hope to SEE you in one of these vids soon.
Sofi , it is so good to see you back on your channel !!! I sure missed you and I Thank-you for your time and efforts to keep our history alive as well as others . I hope you are doing well and happy Sofi . A Big Wave , Hug ,and Smile to you ...Take care and be safe going about .
Hey Sofi , very cool to see . I saw the original Command Truck at Ft.Knox when going through there . He does have it down to exact specifications of Gen. Patton's. If anyone is every at Ft.Knox, goe to the Patton Museum and visit . It is well worth the time to see . Alot of the Tanks that were at Ft.Knox are now down there with you Sofi . If General George S. Patton was here today ,he give that man a medal 🏅,maybe a couple of medals .....smile .
Excellent video, interesting to learn about Patton's career before leaving for work. I like it when you do short vids like this Madame Sofilein cause I can just watch and go. Bravo!
Thanks Sof, I think this was an imaginative and entertaining presentation. I must say, I have always been a little ambivalent about Patton, (more about his personality than his military prowess), though this piece humanized him well. German signals intelligence was extremely good however and frequently was acted upon with greater fruitfulness than Ultra delivered for allies, especially at a tactical level. Nice to see you back from a break, thanks again.
I think a great opportunity was missed here!! I would have asked the General to yell at me, and then smack my helmet off!!! Now that's some FIVE GUM level experience there!!
Well done video and interpretation. I really enjoy well done historical interpretation. It’s especially helpful for young folks to help get the history juices flowing!👍🤣👍
The little girl who pauses to point out that a camera is recording them, only to immediately pick her nose in front of the camera- is the level of self-confidence I need.
Thanks, Sofi. Great video...again! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...I'd love to see a video about the American T92 Light Tank. I know it was beat out by the lack luster M551 Sheridan, but I am fascinated on what could have been an interesting and beautiful addition to the US Armor Corp and Airborne Units. The only surviving example of the 2 prototypes built is on display at Ft. Lee, Virginia. Very, Very few people have seen the inside of it...Please try!
Thank you for this Video. It was verry intresting. General Patton was one of the greatest Comander in the WW II. He was a litle bit exentric tow🤭. I'm Happy to see your next video 👍
Really like your content, and it is always nice to see a pretty face that isn't trying to steal the limelight. Any chance of you getting out to Camp Atterbury JTC for some live fire maneuvers in the Impact Area? If so hit me up I'll give you some tips on civilian sights to see.
Thanks for the Vid Sofi. Lol at the kid at 5:45 wearing a Gi helmet covering his entire head. Is the Tommy real? That kid is carrying it like it's not very heavy.
Couldn't help but laugh at the "sloped armor" in front of the radiator ... that would literally guide any potential "ricochet" straight in the direction of the passenger's ... 😂 ... 🤦♂️ ... eeeeeekk
I don't think Patton was overrated. He didn't always "win" because, unlike Monty, Patton wasn't afraid to take chances and didn't choose battles he knew was a sure-fire victory. Patton also had a great dislike for politics and politicians, and it cost him. Patton was a soldier.

The HQ layout would make a cool diorama.
Thank you Sofi. It was nice to hear, hopefully there will be more in the future.
Definitely

If you come to Turkey, there are great blessings for you, especially at the Turkish Armed Forces Base Museum in northern cyprus.
Good video. Thank you.
Good Stuff!!!
General Patton known as old blood and guts. “Our blood and his guts”!😆
Thanks for the Vid Sofi.
Lol at the kid at 5:45 wearing a Gi helmet covering his entire head. Is the Tommy real? That kid is carrying it like it's not very heavy.
Did they you drive it a little?
Where is the m1128 stryker mgs video????????
Very fun video!
thks
Great vid.
Right On
Nothing says "I'm tough don't f with me" like having a 50 cal mounted on your get around car lol.
Patton was a good sabreur.
Good video.
Where is his Bull terrie "Willie" dog and his book about Erwin Rommel?!
This is stolen valor... I joke, very neat. Well done
Ii could watch the movie Patton over and over again, love the movie 🎥👌 and loved the man 👨.
nice very nice
👍
Couldn't help but laugh at the "sloped armor" in front of the radiator ... that would literally guide any potential "ricochet" straight in the direction of the passenger's ... 😂 ... 🤦♂️ ... eeeeeekk
Dodge Power Wagon of course, Mopar or no car
But what if I don’t have a little kid to turn the crank?
I don't think Patton was overrated. He didn't always "win" because, unlike Monty, Patton wasn't afraid to take chances and didn't choose battles he knew was a sure-fire victory.
Patton also had a great dislike for politics and politicians, and it cost him. Patton was a soldier.
SoFi. I wanna be your friend.
Second!!!
Like my favorite amendment
God bless the USA
They should've listened to General Patton about the Russians!
Yup
I am glad they didn’t.
FIRST!!!!!
Algorithm.
👍
