Higurashi: When They Cry - GOU

General George S. Patton and the US Army embark on the road to Germany by invading North Africa on November 8th, 1942.

North Africa, February--May 1943: After the Germans deliver a stinging defeat to American forces under the command of General Lloyd Fredendall at Kasserine Pass, Eisenhower appoints Patton to take charge of the humiliated Americans.

Sicily, July 1943: As a result of his victories in North Africa, Patton is given command of the Seventh Army as the Allies prepare to invade Sicily.

Sicily, July--September 1943: Frustrated by the slow progress of his British allies, Patton ignores orders to stay by their side and pushes on to capture Palermo.

England/France, September 1943--July 1944: Patton's victories in Sicily are overshadowed by the infamous "slapping incident."

France, August 1944: As American forces tear through western France, Patton's superiors order him to stop before completely trapping an entire German Army.

Patton's blitzkrieg is so successful that his army outruns its own supply lines. Despite being short on fuel and ammunition, he invades the province of Lorraine, hoping to cross into Germany before Christmas.

The slow but brutal slugfest in Lorraine continues as Patton orders his men to take the heavily fortified city of Metz.

As Patton's men prepare to cross the Rhine River into Germany, other American units in Belgium are completely shattered by a German counterattack, kicking off the Battle of the Bulge. Patton is called on to rush to the rescue.

With the German Army again in full retreat, Patton and his men are ordered to break through the vaunted Siegfried Line and cross into Germany.
