a friend of mine was in germany a couple years ago interviewing people for a (another) book about WWII.
interestingly enough he met a guy who's father was one of the head honcho's of the SS.
He told him that when america finnally cornered the SS near the Eagles Nest they told the SS CO's that they would give them food and excercise equipment (by now they were nearly starving to death) and they (Patton and crew) were going to use the SS as a spearhead army into the USSR.
but Patton mysteriously died (the son of the SS leader also mentioned that no one knew who pattons driver was that morning) so the attack never happened.
