The George S. Patton Photo Page

Patton, at the time commander of the hard-driving U.S. 3rd Army, crosses a pontoon bridge over the Seine River in a jeep on August 26, 1944. As was his fashion, Ole Blood n' Guts is standing on the passenger side in the front, resting his hands on the windshield. Patton was the first American commander to reach the northern bank of the river.
