History Declassified

The Death of Patton - Accident or Silenced Critic of Postwar Policy

Option 3 Media

December 1945. The war is over, Europe lies in ruins — and America’s most feared general is restless. George S. Patton, the man who broke the Nazis, now warns that the Soviets are the next enemy. He plans to speak out, expose secret deals, and tell the world that “we fought the wrong foe.”

Days before his return to America, a slow-moving truck crosses his path. Within hours, he is paralysed.

Twelve days later, he’s dead.

Was it a tragic accident… or a silencing ordered from the highest levels of power?

This episode of History Declassified investigates the mystery behind Patton’s death — the missing witnesses, the vanished files, the intelligence rumours, and the motives of those who stood to gain.
Through testimony, declassified records, and decades of intrigue, we ask: did General Patton die by chance… or by design?
