Someone's been working on Gen. Patton's journal ?
The handwritten version is very difficult for a foreigner to read.
There is a transcribed version available on the Congress library website.
But who made it ? Patton himself ? US Army ?
I get the impression it doesn't match perfectly.
thanks
I sent an email to the Library of Congress and they responded very quickly and accurately.
" The transcripts of the WWII diaries were created after Patton’s death by his wife and former aides. In them, abbreviations are spelled out, nicknames are converted to full names, misspelled words are corrected, contexts are embellished, and the candidness of Patton’s observations is made more diplomatic. Some of the edits, additions, and omissions are indeed significant."
