What would have been different? What impact would this have had on the whole European Front? Would it have been different? Your thoughts. . . . .


An alternate question would be "What if Patton was in the Pacific Theater?" With the same questions...what do you guys think would have happened there?
Someone else would've stepped into his spot, probably Walker. Patton brought nothing revolutionary or new to the war. He was not a visionary, just a good pursuit commander.
