Months after Patton's removal from command in Sicily, Eisenhower appoints Patton commander of the First Army Group, a fictitious army in England to fool the Germans about the Allies' real plans for the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944. Weeks later in command of Third Army, Patton helps spearhead the breakout as U.S. forces smash through the German lines using their blitzkrieg tactics.

The Lorraine campaign of 1944 is recalled where the Third Army gained territory, but slower compared to previous campaigns for the general. Not content to wait for Montgomery and lacking fuel Patton engages in local operations preempting a German counter-attack. But when Patton allows his infantry to regroup the Germans attack again and again only to be crushed by Patton's forces.
