When Patton Defied Eisenhower's Order to Halt—And Why Victory Came Before His Final Push

Patton's Third Army reached western Czechoslovakia in May 1945, close enough to Prague for the city to feel within reach.

Patton obeyed, turned his strength where orders allowed, liberated Pilsen, took surrender after surrender, and watched Germany collapse around him.

Eisenhower chose the map that ended the war without a new crisis ahead. If You Like this Video please Subscribe To our Channel.
