On the In Patton’s Footsteps Tour, you will visit the sites and battlefields significant to Patton’s Third Army. General George S. Patton believed in fulfilling the unforgivable minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run. He proved it in his race across France, his relief of the besieged town of Bastogne and his drive into Germany.
As you travel from Normandy to Brittany, Mont-St-Michel, the battlegrounds of the Falais pocket, Bastogne and Luxembourg, you will learn how this maverick general helped win the war in Europe.
Your tour leader will be Patton expert Kevin Hymel. Kevin is a historian for the U.S. Army and also served as a historian at the U.S. Army Combat Studies Institute at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.
He is the author of three books on the general, Patton’s War: An American General’s Combat Leadership Vol. 1 and Vol 2 and Patton’s Photographs: War as He Saw It.
