Out Of Gas
In September 1944, General Eisenhower decided to let British General Montgomery put together a massive attack called Operation Market Garden. Because of this, a large part of all available supplies were diverted to the British Second Army. This included supplies that should have gone to the Third Army.
Eisenhower's decision created a shortage of gasoline and other necessary supplies that were badly needed by the Third Army to keep up its fast-paced advance. Without these supplies the Third Army was forced to slow down and finally to halt its rapid advance.
This was another decision made by Eisenhower and his officers at SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force) that would become very controversial later. Many people thought, and still think, that if the Third Army had not been stopped when it was, it might have been able to bring the war to a close by the end of 1944, instead of the middle of 1945.
Lorraine: General Patton’s offense came to a halt on August 31, 1944 as the third army literally ran out of gas next to the Mosselle River just outside of Metz, France.
The 250th Artilliary Men Remember:
In Eastern France on September 1, the Third Army ran out of gas.....There wasn't anything Patton could do.....He was forced to stop all combat movement.
There are many hundred other sources of what happened to Patton's Third Army on Sept 1. It is not disputed.
