Well, I don't recall seeing anything about Donovan orchastrating a hit on Patton in the Donovan wing of the old museum at Langley during my career!!

However, my youngest Uncle was with the 3rd Army during the last year of the war, and he always subscribed to the idea that Patton was assasinated. He joined uo in 1940 and thru a number of factors didn't go to Europe until he was an E-6 in 1944.

I hadn't thought about this Patton business for years, but a friend of ours here in Kodiak stumbled on this link I posted on the internet and was quite upset about it. In addition to his ivory grip handguns Patton did have at least three Parkers, a DHE 20-gauge and a pair of CHE Skeet guns in 28-gauge and .410-bore.
