Rare original dinner menu from George S. Patton's 60th birthday celebration at the Spa Hotel in Bad Nauheim, Germany, on November 11, 1945. Octavo, featuring colorful hand-decorated double ruled borders, four-star rank, and unit insignia designs. Boldly signed under the four-star rank insignia by Patton, "G. S.

With no reassignment to the Pacific forthcoming, Patton hoped simply to return homeâ"a journey he would never complete. On December 9, a truck collided with his jeep, resulting in a broken neck and paralysis; he died in a hospital in Heidelberg on December 21, 1945.…
