※ 引述《b93ataru (阿當)》之銘言: : www.telegraph.co.uk : General George S. Patton was assassinated to silence his criticism : of allied war leaders claims new book : George S. Patton, America's greatest combat general of the Second : World War, was assassinated after the conflict with the connivance : of US leaders, according to a new book. : By Tim Shipman in Washington : Last Updated: 7:16PM GMT 20 Dec 2008 : 'We've got a terrible situation with this great patriot, he's out : of control and we must save him from himself'. The OSS head General : did not trust Patton. The newly unearthed diaries of a colourful : assassin for the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the : forerunner of the CIA, reveal that American spy chiefs wanted Patton : dead because he was threatening to expose allied collusion with the : Russians that cost American lives. : The death of General Patton in December 1945, is one of the enduring : mysteries of the war era. Although he had suffered serious injuries : in a car crash in Manheim, he was thought to be recovering and was on : the verge of flying home. : But after a decade-long investigation, military historian Robert Wilcox : claims that OSS head General "Wild Bill" Donovan ordered a highly : decorated marksman called Douglas Bazata to silence Patton, who gloried : in the nickname "Old Blood and Guts". : His book, "Target Patton", contains interviews with Mr Bazata, who died : in 1999, and extracts from his diaries, detailing how he staged the car : crash by getting a troop truck to plough into Patton's Cadillac and : then shot the general with a low-velocity projectile, which broke his : neck while his fellow passengers escaped without a scratch. : Mr Bazata also suggested that when Patton began to recover from his : injuries, US officials turned a blind eye as agents of the NKVD, the : forerunner of the KGB, poisoned the general. : Mr Wilcox told The Sunday Telegraph that when he spoke to Mr Bazata: "He : was struggling with himself, all these killings he had done. He confessed : to me that he had caused the accident, that he was ordered to do so by : Wild Bill Donovan. : "Donovan told him: 'We've got a terrible situation with this great patriot, : he's out of control and we must save him from himself and from ruining : everything the allies have done.' I believe Douglas Bazata. He's a sterling : guy." : Mr Bazata led an extraordinary life. He was a member of the Jedburghs, the : elite unit who parachuted into France to help organise the Resistance in the : run up to D-Day in 1944. He earned four purple hearts, a Distinguished : Service Cross and the French Croix de Guerre three times over for his efforts. : After the war he became a celebrated artist who enjoyed the patronage of : Princess Grace of Monaco and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. : He was friends with Salvador Dali, who painted a portrait of Bazata as : Don Quixote. : He ended his career as an aide to President Ronald Reagan's Navy Secretary : John Lehman, a member of the 9/11 Commission and adviser to John McCain's : presidential campaign. : Mr Wilcox also tracked down and interviewed Stephen Skubik, an officer in the : Counter-Intelligence Corps of the US Army, who said he learnt that Patton was : on Stalin's death list. Skubik repeatedly alerted Donovan, who simply had him : sent back to the US. : "You have two strong witnesses here," Mr Wilcox said. "The evidence is that : the Russians finished the job." : The scenario sounds far fetched but Mr Wilcox has assembled a compelling case : that US officials had something to hide. At least five documents relating to : the car accident have been removed from US archives. : The driver of the truck was whisked away to London before he could be : questioned and no autopsy was performed on Patton's body. : With the help of a Cadillac expert from Detroit, Mr Wilcox has proved that : the car on display in the Patton museum at Fort Knox is not the one Patton : was driving. : "That is a cover-up," Mr Wilcox said. : George Patton, a dynamic controversialist who wore pearl handled revolvers : on each hip and was the subject of an Oscar winning film starring George C. : Scott, commanded the US 3rd Army, which cut a swathe through France after : D-Day. : But his ambition to get to Berlin before Soviet forces was thwarted by : supreme allied commander Dwight D. Eisenhower, who gave Patton's petrol : supplies to the more cautious British General Bernard Montgomery. : Patton, who distrusted the Russians, believed Eisenhower wrongly : prevented him closing the so-called Falaise Gap in the autumn of : 1944, allowing hundreds of thousands of German troops to escape : to fight again,. This led to the deaths of thousands of Americans : during their winter counter-offensive that became known as the : Battle of the Bulge. : In order to placate Stalin, the 3rd Army was also ordered to a halt as it : reached the German border and was prevented from seizing either Berlin or : Prague, moves that could have prevented Soviet domination of Eastern Europe : after the war. : Mr Wilcox told The Sunday Telegraph: "Patton was going to resign from the : Army. He wanted to go to war with the Russians. The administration thought : he was nuts. : "He also knew secrets of the war which would have ruined careers. : I don't think Dwight Eisenhower would ever have been elected president if : Patton had lived to say the things he wanted to say." Mr Wilcox added: "I : think there's enough evidence here that if I were to go to a grand jury I : could probably get an indictment, but perhaps not a conviction." : Charles Province, President of the George S. Patton Historical Society, : said he hopes the book will lead to definitive proof of the plot being : uncovered. He said: "There were a lot of people who were pretty damn glad : that Patton died. He was going to really open the door on a lot of things : that they screwed up over there." : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/3869117/General : -George-S.-Patton-was-assassinated-to-silence-his-criticism-of-allied-war- : leaders-claims-new-book.html 美國一本新書說,二次大戰美國著名將領真的是被暗殺死的。 二次大戰結束,巴頓出車禍,經過治療後來不治。許多年來,一直有人認為巴頓的死因不 單純。現在一本叫「瞄準巴頓」的新書說,巴頓的確是被美國「戰略情報局」局長「唐納 文」下令除掉的。這本書的作者「衛考克斯」訪問了執行這項任務的美國退休特務「巴札 塔」。 「巴札塔」本人有相當的信用。他幫法國在納粹佔領區建立游擊勢力,拿過三座法國勳章 。二次大戰結束,「巴札塔」退役成了有名的畫家。摩納哥王妃葛莉斯凱莉、英國溫莎公 爵夫婦都買過他的畫。名畫家「達利」還幫他畫過畫像。「巴札塔」在一九九九年過世, 過世以前,「衛考克斯」訪問了他。 「巴札塔」說,「唐納文」當時找他去拯救即將失控的巴頓。他們用的方法是製造假車禍 。出事以後,由「巴札塔」對著巴頓的脖子發射低速子彈,讓他受傷。巴頓也成了車上唯 一受傷的人。經過治療,巴頓快好了,戰略情報局卻任由蘇聯特務接近巴頓,給巴頓打毒 針,把他毒死。 「衛考克斯」說,巴頓知道的太多了。要是他沒死,艾森豪絕對選不上總統。 當然是殺進蘇聯阿 -- ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※ 懷 抱 天 波 觀 好 屌,蒼 井 高 潮 洗 星 辰; -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 134.208.34.107
