People have been arguing that he was whacked for a while (though it's usually argued the it was done by the Soviets, not the Allied leadership), I'm not really convinced, but it is an interesting line of thought.  It wasn't any secret that Patton hated the Soviets and wanted to push through Germany and go after the commie bastards.  In any case, I laughed at this bit from the article,

George Patton, a dynamic controversialist who wore pearl handled revolvers on each hip and was the subject of an Oscar winning film starring George C. Scott, commanded the US 3rd Army, which cut a swathe through France after D-Day.
