What Eisenhower Said When Patton Asked: "Do You Want Me to Give It Back?"

General Eisenhower ordered Patton to bypass the city of Trier because it was "impossible" to capture. Patton didn't just ignore the order; he sent back the most sarcastic telegram in military history.

In March 1945, the Third Army faced the formidable Siegfried Line and the ancient fortress city of Trier. Allied Command estimated it would take four divisions to capture it. Patton had only two.
Instead of waiting, Patton launched a surprise night attack. This video tells the incredible true story of:

The Roman Bridge: The desperate race to cut the detonator wires before the bridge blew up.
