The US Third Army - the Lorraine campaign

In World War II, under the leadership of General George S. Patton, the Third Army drove its way into history across the French countryside in a daring thrust toward the heart of Germany. Never before had a military force moved with such speed and optimism. Known as the Lorraine campaign, the rapid advance of Third Army units in 1944 set an example in mobility and demonstrated the power of United States arms and armor. [Applause] [Music]
