Researcher- Patton was supposedly on his way to a pheasant hunt in Germany Dec 1945 when his driver swerved to avoid an incoming 6X6 truck at a RR crossing- no seat belts- Patton apparently went forward and struck his neck or head on the partially raised glass divider- and that impact may have been the cause of his death-I can't speak about the "Plots" or OSS or CIA- sure the Russians hated him-but anyway-does anyone know what shotgun he had with him- or did he borrow one from another Staff member or Brother Army Officer to hunt with- if he had both a .410 and a 28 gauge CHE skeet gun- my guess is they were Stateside at his home- when did Parker first introduce the Skeet model-was it after the Remington ownership in 1934?
