Patton criticized over Nazi comments at Bavarian HQ
General Patton faced editorial criticism in the United States after saying some Nazis might stay in office to prevent hunger this winter. He later said the analogy to American politics was unfounded and pledged to carry out Eisenhower’s policies. Eisenhower summoned him for a two hour talk at Frankurt and later accepted Minister President Schaeffer’s resignation. Hoegner succeeded him as anti Nazi. Eisenhower also banned Nazi party employment in German enterprises. Truscott reportedly replaced Patton as head of the U S Fifth Army while Patton led the Third Army.
