Explanation: The WW2 American general George Patton was an utter fucking lunatic and not much more than a fascist who was born on the ‘right’ side of the war. In a war filled with divas in the brass, Patton stood out for being unbalanced.
That being said, he was an extremely aggressive commander who managed to establish a rapport with his troops - for that reason, and the importance of the war against the Nazis, he was tolerated until the end of the war, at which point his bizarre and fascist-adjacent statements got him shuffled off to a less relevant position, and he died in a car accident shortly thereafter.
This is one of his more ‘harmless’ delusions, wherein he believed he was the reincarnation of warriors throughout history.
