"This happened to be the feast of Yom Kippur, so they were all
collected in a large, wooden building, which they called a synagogue.
It behooved General Eisenhower to make a speech to them. We entered
the synagogue, which was packed with the greatest stinking bunch of
humanity I have ever seen. When we got about halfway up, the head
rabbi, who was dressed in a fur hat similar to that worn by Henry VIII
of England and in a surplice heavily embroidered and very filthy, came
down and met the General . . . The smell was so terrible that I almost
fainted and actually about three hours later lost my lunch as the
result of remembering it."
- General George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. Third Army.
