Question: Does anyone know what the codename for the Normandy invasion was?

As for Patton...I swear I remember him saying he fought the Romans as a Carthaginian....though the name of the battle escapes me.
Sort of, Patton believed in reincarnation and believed his former incarnations were those of great historical generals. Go figure.Originally posted by antarctic
Oh.. yeah!!..... That really rings a bell.... It was definately the Romans vs the Carthaginian..... and I'm not sure what battle either..... probably the one where the Romans defeated the Carthiginians and sacked Carthage..... but just to add the fact that Patton said this at a cross roads. Down one track were German units ready to attack, and the driver wanted to go down that one. However, Patton overided him and told him to go down the other one..... I guess Patton must have been very superstitious....
