Patton Pissing in Rhine

[Walt's Daughter]

Thanks. I have some of granddad's service records but I would have to find

them. It would show his various units. He told us, long before the

internet or anyone else could have probably published this photo in public,

that Patton told all of his field officers that when they got to the Rhine

he would "piss in it". I'm not sure if this is the only photo or not but

granddad said he took a photo of this. I will forward this tomy dad, who

has seenthe actual photo granddad took. I had one of my uncles make

somecopies of other photos that have never been seen from the Nazicamps. I

accidentally erased the disk before it was not made on a CD-R, but when I

get new copies I will forward some of the photos. Several of these show

Patton in Buchenwald during the prisoner liberation. They are all very

interesting photos. The thing that is neat about that one is no photos were

allowed, but granddad was able to snap a few. My father has the camera, a

very small "spy" type camera. Anyways, thought this might interest you.

Thanks for the help!!!!!
