Through a strange misunderstanding, a small town in France maintained the grave of a fallen American soldier for several decades. It wasn't a soldier's grave at all, but a spot where General George Patton had marked an abandoned latrine pit. In this episode, we learn a little about Patton and how this story came to be. Then we chat with Comedian, Magician and Author Nick Paul.
