American Blitzkrieg

Months after Patton's removal from command in Sicily, Eisenhower appoints Patton commander of the First Army Group, a fictitious army in England to fool the Germans about the Allies' real plans for the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944. Weeks later in command of Third Army, Patton helps spearhead the breakout as U.S. forces smash through the German lines using their blitzkrieg tactics.
