Due to a few comments at a press conference, he is relieved of his command of the Third Army by General Eisenhower.

Factual error: When Patton orders his driver to drive to the Carthaginian battlefield he addresses him as "sergeant". He is, however, wearing corporal's chevrons. A famous stickler for discipline and ceremonial, Patton is not likely to have made a mistake like this.
NecrothespPatton: There's only one proper way for a professional soldier to die: the last bullet of the last battle of the last war.
Trivia: As Patton and his convoy are coming into town, Patton's half-track mistakenly flattens a few live chickens. (00:16:55)
