Can't have some uppity military type speaking their mind and ruining the money making plans of the industrial and banking elite, that just wouldn't do at all.
So many of the USA's finest got rich(er) by bankrolling the Nazi rise to power and subsequent world war, even doing so as America entered the war too. It's all just good business, right or wrong doesn't enter the equation when money and power are at stake. The elite even wanted to go so far as to overthrow the American government of the day and align themselves with Nazi Germany. All the info is out there if you dig deep enough and has been documented many times over but the corporate owned media and those same big powerful families are still there to ensure it doesn't go mainstream and cause them any problems.
If many of the people knew what went on back then they'd probably want lynchings.

In 1945, wouldnt you just have someone walk up behind him and shoot him in the head. Things werent too complicated back then. No you tube, no cell phone cams.
An assassination would be simple and silent, not complicated and combursome like a car accident then subsequential poisoning wouldnt it???
In fact during the war the Army had cut off Patton's fuel supply to stop him from taking more of Germany, leaving it to the USSR. Patton then commandeered enemy fuel and still pressed forward hundreds of miles farther than he was allowed by his orders. Patton later warned Secretary of War Robert Patterson about Russia, saying "Let's keep our boots polished, bayonets sharpened, and present a picture of force and strength to the Red Army. This is the only language they understand and respect."
Another problem was the Jewish question. Patton did not regard the Jews as a nation, but rather as a religion. He pointed out that Jews were citizens of many nations, like Catholics and Moslems. He opposed the idea of creating a homeland for what he considered to be a religion. Eisenhower had instructed Patton to remove German citizens from their homes, and give them to displaced Jewish people. Patton opposed this practice as being a violation of the Geneva Conventions.
Meanwhile, President Truman was preparing two crucial documents: The first directive would give all displaced Jews property and homes - even at the expense of other displaced nationalities. The second directive would grant the Soviet Union control of much of Eastern Europe and other parts of the world. Patton continued to give warning against both of these directives, which weren't officially enacted until the day after his death, December 22, 1945.

This new book, Target Patton, is not just a rehash of old ideas, nor does it disregard reports about Patton's accident. There are no reports. That's one of the findings. At least 5 have disappeared, maybe as many as 8. Clearly that is part of a coverup. The Cadillac said to have been the one in which Patton was injured which is at Ft. Knox is a fake. The assassin who confessed to staging the accident is a highly decorated Jedburgh, which was the forerunner America's special forces. The author also found an intelligence agent with Patton who discovered the plot. There were three other highly suspicious "accidents" prior to the "accident" that led to Patton's death. The so-called accident in which Patton broke his neck and no one else was even scratched is mysterious in the extreme. A truck turns in front of his limousine without signal. The driver and his passengers disappear. It's on a remote road but all manner of persons converge on the scene. Patton isn't taken to a local hospital but one 30 miles away. He recovers and then has a mysterious downturn and dies. No autopsy even though he's the highest ranking general in Germany at the time and the most controversial. The OSS, accused to ordering the hit, was in collusion with the NKVD since 1943. There are many motives including Patton wanted to fight the Russians and was on his way home to lobby for that when injured. He also knew secrets that would derail high level careers. He was so popular at the time he might have run for president. Certainly he could have been elected senator. All of this is documented in the book and very little of it has ever been publicly written.
