I had been researching the Patton Command Jeep for a couple of months with
help from the following sources: "Patton" - The Movie, and a great deal of
reference photos provided to me by the US Army Quartermaster Museum located
at Fort Lee, Virginia. They have on exhibit one of the command jeeps used
extensively by Patton during the later part of 1944 and the early part of
1945. I present to you this version of the Patton Command Jeep along with
a follow-up jeep on a snow covered road leading towards the town of Bastogne,
France. On both sides of the road flanking Patton are 5 members of his 3rd
Army's 4th Armored Division. I would like to extend my thanks to Luther
Hanson from the US Army Quartermaster Museum for his photos/ insights, to
CK2 for his continued inspiration and finally to my wife and kids for their
time and patience. Enjoy!
