Why Hitler Feared Patton Above All Others

Why Hitler Feared Patton Above All Others Adolf Hitler did not fear Allied armies in the abstract. He feared individuals. And among all the commanders fighting against Germany, one name repeatedly surfaced in German intelligence reports, intercepted communications, and high-level planning sessions: George S. Patton. From North Africa to France, German commanders tracked Patton’s movements obsessively, convinced that wherever he appeared, catastrophe would follow. This documentary examines why Hitler and the German high command came to view Patton as the most dangerous American general of the war. Drawing on German intelligence assessments, postwar interrogations of Wehrmacht commanders, and battlefield records from Sicily, France, and the Battle of the Bulge, we reveal how Patton’s speed, unpredictability, and instinctive understanding of German doctrine created a psychological threat unlike any other. This is the story of how one American general got inside the enemy’s head — and stayed there until the end of the war.
