Скачать или смотреть The General Who Fired 40 Officers in 10 Days to Save an Army

March 6th, 1943. General George S. Patton walked into US Second Corps headquarters in North Africa and immediately began firing officers. Within 10 days, he would relieve dozens of commanders and transform a defeated, demoralized force into an effective fighting machine.

This is the untold story of one of the most ruthless leadership purges in American military history—and how it saved the US Army after the devastating defeat at Kasserine Pass.

After American forces suffered their worst defeat in North Africa, losing over 6,000 men and 183 tanks, Eisenhower sent Patton with one mission: Fix this. Make them fight. Do it fast.

What followed was brutal. Officers were fired for not wearing helmets. Commanders were relieved for being away from the front lines. Careers ended with a single sentence. But within 11 days, Second Corps launched a successful offensive at El Guettar, defeating the same German forces that had routed them weeks earlier.

Was Patton a brilliant leader or a ruthless tyrant? Did he save the army or destroy innocent careers? Watch to discover the truth about the general who broke his army's heart to save it.
