Fact of the Week

When George S. Patton Jr was preparing for the modern pentathlon at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, he used to eat a plate of raw steak and salad after each training session. On the final day of the competition, he prepared for the cross-country run by receiving an injection of opium. The regime saw Patton finish fifth. He later found greater fame for commanding the US Seventh Army in the Mediterranean and Europe during World War Two and for his leadership of the US Third Army in France and Germany following the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944.
