General George Smith Patton - Romagné

As General Patton is en route to Rennes with his driver, the latter's attention is drawn to three visibly agitated men holding requisition orders in their hands.
Engaging in conversation with the Frenchmen, General Patton and his driver understand that they are unable to get to Normandy to help with the logistics of landing for lack of fuel.
Then General Patton offered them a jerry can of gasoline, and the somewhat bewildered men wondered who this generous officer was.
At their question, it was the interested party who answered in perfect French: "Je suis le Général Patton"
