The account in Wilcox, Ch 6, tempting to believe such an account, though disjointed and fitful throughout.
It is in the various details surrounding the conversation, which come out too, that add verisimilitude. Patton had been falsely painted as insane.
(Why kill someone, already relieved of duty, who is allegedly insane?)
One irony here is that Patton had already been relieved from command, but that would not have satisfied the Soviets, or as Bazata alleged, the British, or FDR, who would not have wanted for Patton to get in the way of plans and existing secret agreements for Eastern Europe already made.
