What slapping incidents happened during world war 2?
Answer General George Patton visited some soldiers in the hospital on Sicily in 1943. When he found out that some of the soldiers were not physically wounded but only experiencing "shell shock", he became outraged and slapped one for being a coward. Some say there were two incidents of this. When this was reported in the press, it was not well received. General Eisenhower had to reprimand Gen. Patton and some say his command was taken away from him for this incident. There may have been more slapping incidents on the British or German sides but usually this was such a minor event in the light of the attrocities and tremendous loss in battle.
