Assassination of General Patton

Investigative journalist Robert Wilcox provided startling new evidence that shows General George S. Patton was assassinated. According to Wilcox, the powers that be in the United States (and perhaps even in the USSR) regarded Patton as a "loose cannon." Patton held staunchly anti-Stalin/anti-Soviet views and was ready to wage war against Russia, he explained. This at a time when the U.S. had a good relationship with Russia and there was a Socialist-friendly atmosphere under the Roosevelt administration, Wilcox further noted. 

Douglas Bazata, a self-proclaimed assassin for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), was ordered to "stop Patton." Wilcox said he personally spoke with Bazata as well as read through his diary entries. Bazata claimed to have been paid $10,000 to plan the assassination of Patton. According to Wilcox, Bazata set up a car accident to make it appear as though Patton had died in a collision. Bazata's plan failed, however, and Patton was only seriously injured. Patton was taken to a hospital where he started to recover before dying suddenly of a blood clot in his brain. Wilcox suggested a poison was used to make it look like Patton had died from the brain embolism.
