And the amount of excrement around it will only grow in the West. But here comes the Hollywood "History" (a euphemism for BS). This is from famous Patton movie and a completely made-up shit. However, one thing should be explained to many people who still cannot grasp realities of the Eastern Front.
We can start, of course with the fact that Patton had a very high-pitched voice. But let's take a look at Mikhail Efimovich Katukov's track record, even from WiKi--the guy fought (successfully) at Moscow in 1941 checking Guderian's advance, Rzhev, Stalingrad, Kursk against Mainstein, Operation Bagration, Berlin Operation. I guess, many who watched this Hollywood fantasy didn't know who Katukov was. Yep, the guy played a key role in sacking of Guderian by Hitler. But who cares, right?
