Patton's Panthers: The Spearhead of the Third Army

Patton's Panthers was a tank battalion of the U.S. Army's 4th Armored Division, commanded by the legendary General George Patton. Known for their aggressive tactics and unwavering determination, the Panthers spearheaded the Third Army's drive across France and Germany, liberating countless towns and cities from Nazi occupation.

The Panthers were a diverse group of men, drawn from all walks of life. They included farmers, factory workers, and college students, but they were united by their shared love of country and their willingness to sacrifice everything for victory.

The Panthers' most famous exploit was their daring crossing of the Rhine River on March 23, 1945. In the face of heavy German fire, the Panthers stormed across the river in their tanks, establishing a bridgehead that allowed the Third Army to advance into Germany.

The Edelweiss Pirates: Resistance Fighters in the Heart of Nazi Germany
