What Would The Results Be If Patton Had Commanded 12th Army Group and Bradley Commanded 3rd Army?

Eisenhower had no intention of doing it but the command arrangements could have easily occurred if he wanted it to be so.Was Patton capable of command on that level?Would Bradley have been a competent army commander?Would the war in Europe have ended sooner if this command arrangement had occurred?

    Patton was willful, opinionated (not always a bad thing in a General), insensitive and slowly becoming unstable.

    His death was fortuitious as he had started sending in memoranda about the Eastern threat and suggestiosn for the "next phase". Higher command would have accelerated this.

    Paton was an Incompetent fool who arrived in France on the 15 August with a Green 3 army

    he was placed on Monty's Right Flank in a Supporting role

    if You read his achievements he took more Land and Pows because there was No One to Fight He Raced across Germany and did Little Fighting as Most of the enemy wanted to surrender to the Americans

    and even then he Disobeyed Orders as expected and Ran out of Fuel

    we all Know today patton was an Inept arrogant Fool
