I believe there were actually two separate slapping incidents in which Patton slapped soldiers in medical facilities who had no apparent physical injuries. They took place about 10 days apart. But this film depicts only one of the incidents.
shareThere should have been a sequel titled, Patton II, The Slappening
shareYes, he did that twice to shell-shocked troopers
Unfortunate that he did such because he was a very excellent and aggressive war leader in general
The slapping incidents were very bad episodes in a great life
This movie is pretty great in part because it depicts many of the facts, warts and all
