    "Your knees almost go weak, at the tremble of Scott's voice as Patton."


    Scott sounded like everyone wished the real Patton sounded. In actuality, the real George Patton had a rather high pitched, squeaky type of voice. He sounded nothing at all like you anticipated he'd sound. There's not a lot of footage with him speaking, but the footage I have seen is so different from what you'd expect.


    True, I saw a few historic reals and his voice was much higher than Scott's. I like Scott's Scrooge also for the gravely voice.
    Eisenhower, Patton, Montgomery all had voices of higher pitch. I never heard Rommel's, Marshall's was a lower voice, be interesting to see what other Generals of that era spoke like.
