Patton Fought Eisenhower Over De-Nazification
He was the military governor of Bavaria, and used ex-Nazis to run the country. He opposed Eisenhower's orders to push ordinary Germans out of their houses for Jews. It was common for Polish Jews to appear at an upper-class German house and expect Patton's soldiers to remove the tenant Germans.

Patton saw the Jews as instigators of WW2, non-combatants who refused to serve, and jackals who preyed on Germany's corpse.
In late 1945, Eisenhower removed him from command of the Third Army and transferred him to the Fifteenth Army.
