"General Patton could have taken all of Eastern Europe from the Germans" With one army? Do you have ANY idea how much Wehrmacht strength remained operational in Germany, never mind the Soviet Army? Zhukov used three times Patton's strength to break through the Seelow Heights alone, and that was just one of the three Fronts in the Berlin area, never mind the rest of eastern Europe. To say that Patton could have defeated them alone is verging on delusional. --[[User:SamRSC|SamRSC]] 12:08, 18 November 2011 (EST)

== el Alamein ==
"in May 1943 General Dwight Eisenhower led the Allies to a victory against the feared Afrika Korps"
The Afrika Korps was already retreating when Eisenhower arrived in Africa. The majority of Allied troops in North Africa were British and Commonwealth. --[[User:SamRSC|SamRSC]] 12:19, 18 November 2011 (EST)
