From THE WAR, Episode 2:
NARRATOR: Eisenhower replaced his inept commander with a Major General named George S. Patton, who would transform the beleaguered Second Corps into a determined, capable force.
CHARLES MANN: It was purely a matter of Patton using different tac-, tactics to beat them suckers. That’s what it amounted to. We’d done so poorly towards, uh, Rommell’s forces, but next time around we’d done it right.
