"Wehrmacht POWs Refuse To SALUTE PATTON, He Made Them Stand Until They Broke"

In March 1945, with Germany on the verge of collapse, General George S. Patton arrived to inspect a POW enclosure holding 400 German soldiers — and not one of them saluted.
What followed wasn't a threat. It wasn't a punishment. It was something rarer: a battle of wills fought in the rain, in complete silence, until the last man standing was the one who refused to bend.
This is the story of the morning Patton outwaited 400 prisoners, what he said to the man who ordered the defiance, and why the soldiers who watched it never forgot it.
