In August 1943, at the height of World War II, General George S. Patton stood on the brink of ruin. After leading one of the most successful campaigns of the war in Sicily, Patton’s explosive behavior triggered a crisis that reached the desk of Supreme Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower. With court-martial looming and public outrage inevitable, Eisenhower faced an impossible decision: remove his most aggressive commander—or protect him for the sake of victory. This documentary reveals what Eisenhower said when Patton was about to be fired, and how that choice shaped the war in Europe.
